Sacred language
text:
A sacred language, holy language or liturgical language is a language that is cultivated and used primarily for religious reasons by people who speak another, primary language in their daily lives. Some religions, or parts of them, regard the language of their sacred texts as in itself sacred. These include Hebrew in Judaism, Arabic in Islam and Sanskrit in Hinduism. By contrast Christianity and Buddhism do not generally regard their sacred languages as sacred in themselves.
