the meaning of "prestige language"

Sumerian remained the prestige language, whereas Akkadian was more the language used for everday life.

I am not sure the meaning of "prestige language", I guess it means "official language", am I right? Thank you.

Often it is the official language, but more specifically, it is the language spoken by those who in the society who are respected for their wealth or power.
