Latin is a liturgical language, but I've never heard the claim that it is a Sacred language. And Judaism certainly has a Sacred Law, but Christianity has at most the "Canon law"

Perhaps the Noahide Laws ? I believe Torah literally means Law

Torah means Law but Im assuming Judaism evolved beyond that with the Talmud and such. Isn't there a sect that considers Aramaic a sacred languagehttps://www.reddit.com/r/AskHistorians/comments/9fej3i/why_isnt_aramaic_the_language_of_jesus_considered/ …
