Descriptive and richest?

My understanding is that Greek does a much better job of being an accurate language. E.g., ancient Greek, unlike English, had multiple words to describe the concept of 'love', each with a distinct meaning and nuance. The most commonly discussed are: agápē, érōs, philía, storgē, philautía, and xenía.
