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.
