I mean, Jewish languages, I understand, but as far as I know, there isn't a language that is used only by Christians, or versions of other languages used by Christians. Latin was used in the Roman Empire, Ancient Greek by the Ancient Greeks, Hebrew by the Jews, the only one I can think of is maybe Old Church Slavonic, but even that isn't a very good example.
Anyway, I adore Ancient Egyptian (Coptic, not so much) however, I just haven't gotten around to doing any learning, hehe.

Maybe he meant liturgical language. If that were the case, Coptic is still the language of the Coptic Catholic and Orthodox churches

maybe the Celtic ones, but nowadays I guess there may be atheists and people of other religions who learn them. But for native speakers, I think they're all Christian.

I sort of meant historically and in the present. The Celtic languages aren't known for being used primarily by Christians (besides, they're Protestants! That guy is Catholic!)Quevenois wrote:there isn't a language that is used only by Christians
