Assalamualaikum dear brother in Faith, Quran was basically revealed in Arabic because it was the local language and they would easily understand and respect the religion – it spread first in whole of Arab Countries and subsequently the whole world . Warm regards !!
Walaikumsalam.I agree with you but Qur’an is the message of Allah SWT for all mankind and for all eras till the day of akhirah. So,the richness of Arabic language was also one of the most important reasons why it is revealed in that language.
Wallahua’alam.
