If the sages speaking a language makes it holy than you need to consider others as well.Old french was spoken by Rashi and Tosafot does that make french holy? Also it was not Arabic per se but rather Judeo-Arabic that was spoken by the Jews of the Middle East and North Africa. Which like Yiddish included many Hebrew Aramaic terms.
As for Arabic being related to “Semitic Hebrew” So are many other languages. Would you say that
Tigrinya a Semitic language spoken by people of Eritrea is holy?
