The Buddha Dharma was originally written in a dialect of Sanskrit, a pankrit. The main languages of the early Buddhist texts were Pali and Sanskrit. Today the Buddha Dharma has been transliterated into nearly every language.
There is no official language of Buddhism. Buddhists write in whatever their home language is. I write English, a Vietnamese Buddhist will write in Vietnamese. etc. Ancient Buddhist texts, though, are either in Sanskrit, the ancient Indian language or Pali, a later Indian language. These texts have been translated into dozens of languages.
Currently Buddhist texts can be found in most modern languages. The original language the Buddhists texts were in were either Sanskrit (an early Indian language) or Pali (a latter Indian language).
The earliest extant of Buddhist canon the Pali canon has been written in Pali language. This language is also the liturgical language of Theravada Buddhism.

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.
Buddhism was originally transmitted orally by the Buddha and his followers, so it was not written in Sanskrit. The earliest Buddhist texts were written in Pali, which is a Middle-Indo-Aryan language. Sanskrit was later used for the writing of some Buddhist texts in certain regions.
Buddhism is a religion/philosophy not a language. Although the original Buddhist texts were written in Pali, modern Buddhists speak local languages throughout the world. In the Christian Church Latin became a universal language of government and education due to the fact that a powerful government using Latin and which adopted Christianity controlled most of Europe. This did not have a parallel with Buddhism and Pali.
Buddhism isnt a language, it's a religion.
