Various assemblers
BCPL
C
C++
Pascal (both 'standard' and on Apollo Domain/OS, which is (was) a less bondage-and-discipline flavour of Pascal)
Lisp
Prolog
Objective-C
Swift
Go
Awk
Perl
Python (love/hate relationship with this one - I love using it, and used well it's superb for some tasks, but I've seen more terrible code written in Python than pretty much any other language).
Ruby
Basic
Java (though the 'and loved' requirement would disqualify this!)
Javascript
Erlang

No doubt there are a few others that have slipped my mind.

If hardware description languages count:
Verilog
SystemVerilog
VHDL
Ella
Hilo

Plus a few custom-designed languages.
