Latin, originally.
"The syllable names come from a formerly well-known medieval hymn, entitled Ut queant laxis, in which each successive musical phrase, corresponding to a half line of the first verse, starts on the next higher scale degree in the major scale. The first syllable in each half line corresponds to the solfege syllable, with the exception of the first, "Ut," which was changed to the more singable "Do." The original hymn did not start a phrase upon the seventh scale degree. To fill in this gap, at a later time the Ti (or sometimes Si) was added to the repertoire."

It's not exactly a language, but it's used by sight-readers to sing tunes they've never heard before. Each note has a name. There are also names of the in-between black ones, in each octave

It's not a language. It's the musical scale.
