“In a different thread, some posters posited, that Yiddish became a holy language, by dint of the fact that it has a long history of being spoken by Jews and / because much Torah has been communicated through it.”
You should reread that thread. Laskern is closer. The argument there was NOT (As was pointed out numerous times) that it is holy because it was “spoken by Jews”
and besides, as you point out even if that WAS the argument, the English comparison, still falls flat “although obviously not the same history.”
So clearly that can’t be the point of this game. Its not nice to interpret someone else’s post as saying something so silly.
I’ll keep trying :
Is Somali holy?
It is an Afroasiatic language belonging to the Cushitic branch.
It is the second most widely spoken Cushitic language after Oromo.
As of 2013, it is also one of the featured languages available on Google Translate.
