Buddhism and Buddhists do not have an official or sacred language. Buddhist documents where originally written in Sanskrit (and ancient Indian language) and later Pali ( a more modern Indian language) but Buddhist texts have been translated to most languages. When Buddhist get together they speak in the language of the country that they are in through translators.
