You should say "I love the English language." This is because the name of the language is associated with people or a nation.
For example:
The English language is spoken throughout America.
Compare to:
English is spoken throughout the world.
When the national adjective 'English' plus the noun word 'language' is used, 'the' is needed. Basically, English is DESCRIBING the LANGUAGE [noun] that you are talking about, so 'the' is used.
"I love English." is also correct.
