The modern mac os recovery environment automatically logs in as root. So the su or sudo command is not necessary since you are already using superuser privilages. Try the command ls -lah to see your permessions of the current directory. Or ls -lah whoami to see your user permissions.

As @BDAqua mentions you are already at a root (aka admin) prompt in Recovery Mode so the actual "sudo" command won't work as it is completely unnecessary. Just run the commands without adding "sudo" and those commands will just work with root/admin privileges. Just be careful since every command you are running while at the "#" prompt is running with full admin privileges so if you mistype something or make any mistakes it could be catastrophic to macOS and your data.
Make sure to have a good backup.
thanks !.. I need to change the default recovery language. now it is French. I can change to my language but on every boot in recovery turn back to French.
I'd like to use languagesetup command in the recovery terminal. do you know if it is possible it isn't available ?
