The official language of the liturgy and the sacraments in the Catholic Church depends upon your rite. For instance, if you belong to the Latin rite, all of the sacraments, officially, are in Latin. If you belong to the Maronite Rite, all the sacraments are in Aramaic; the Greek rite would be in Greek, etc. However, the Latin Rite of the Church (the largest) is in an odd position, as, under indult, they may celebrate the sacraments in a translation in their native tongue. Those of the Latin Rite in England and the United States hear Mass in English. In South America and Spain, they hear Mass in Spanish (except in Brazil, which is in Portugese), etc.
