Please understand that the formal prayers are required in Arabic. If you not in the state of the formal prayers, you can ask or pray to god in any language.
Arabic was destined to exist forever by god that is why the Quran is also in Arabic, so there is always the original language of the Quran in case it was misinterpreted. All over the world regardless of race or language, we pray in Unity in one language. You can go anywhere in the world and pray at any mosque together in a congregation, you will not feel lost as everyone prays in Arabic. We are required to pray five times a day. Due to different geographical location of muslims globally, there will always be muslims who are in a state of praying.
Allah definitely understands whatever languages there are out there, even Aramaic(language of Jesus) which is believe to be spoken by less than a 100 people today. Allah elected Arabic is his prerogative and also the sign of unity in Islam. He is the one god and he do as he wishes.

Arabic is the religion of Muhammed(PBUH*) and it's also easier to understand and say. No you can pray in your native tounge until you learn the prayers in Arabic. Then you should preferably pray in Arabic. ALLAH understands every language however Arabic is just more meaningful in prayer than any other language.

Its a way to unite people under a certain brand. Very smart political and religious move by the founding Muslims in my opinion

SEE WHAT HAPPEN WHEN YOU HAVE MORE THAN ONE LANGUAGES.
The Pasters of high denomination of Christianity declared that there are 50,000 errors in Holy Bible.

Example of biblical interpolation, corruption and addition by pasters and these pasters deserve the plague according to Jesus pbuh.

16 Pasters of high rank removed the verse John 5:7 from Bible. Because this verse advocates the concept of trinity.

There are more than 2,000 versions of bible in this world.
Seventh Day Adventists and Jehovah's Witnesses.
First Roman Catholic Bible was published at Rheims in 1582.
Second one published at Douay in 1609.
These called RCV version of Bible.
The Protestants regarded 7 books as ‘apocrypha’ (doubtful authority) and removed them from Bible.
(The Book of Judith
The Book of Tobias
The Book of Baruch
The Buck of Esther, etc. )
Jesus pbuh said in the book of Revelation Chapter 22 Verse 18-19 ". . . If any man shall add to these things (or delete) God shall add unto him the plagues written in this Book."
On deleting 7 books from bible, the Catholics call ‘cult of Christianity’ to the Seventh Day Adventists and Jehovah's Witnesses.

it is a misconception that muslims ENTIRLY pray in arabic.
yes, their salaah is in arabic. but other than that, they can pray in their own language.
salaah is in arabic because the quran is in arabic. there r various reasons y the quran is in arabic. one reason given is that arabic is one of the most clear and sweetest language. there r other reasons too. but i m not sure of them so maybe someone will be kind enough to give them. or u might want to contact here:-

Because Arabic is the language of the Qu'ran, the original language. If you translate it it, it won't be neccesarily 100% like the original arabic, therefore it might get corrupted if you try to transpost it to another language.
So therefore it is kept in the original language; Arabic.
