As Saalamu Alaikoum,

Praise be to Allah.

In regards to is it fard for non arabs to learn arabic, they have to learn as much as they need for Islamic purposes, how to pronounce the words and what they mean, such as the Takbeer, al-Faatihah and al-Tasbeehaat � those that are obligatory in the prayer and for other duties. Salaats must be made in Arabic.

Other than that, it is not obligatory for non-arabs to learn the language..

AND ALLAH KNOWS BEST
