When I was a little kid I always thought that all prophets were Arabic (it just made more sense that way) but as I grew up I realized that it wasn't the case. I remember reading somewhere that there were only 4 Arab prophets: Hood (AS), Saleh (AS), Shu'aib (AS), and Muhammad (SAW). Is this true, or are there more? Were the other Holy Books (Tawra', Ingeel, etc.) revealed in Arabic, or in other languages? Also, were Musa and Haroon from Palestine or Egypt? I heard many people say that they were both from the Children of Israel, but others said that he was Egyptian.
Sorry for asking so many questions.

There are only 4 arab Prophets (peace be upon them) as far as we know.
 
What about Adam and Hud? Allah made Arabic the most beloved language in the world, so why not teach it to the first human? And I read somewhere that Hud was the ancestor of Saleh.

Prophet Adam (as) was not Arab, or Hebrew, or Ethiopian, or other. But he is the father of every race, every ethnic, every tribe. Prophet Hud (as) was not Arab, but from A'ad, a tribe that has been extinct.

Arabic is language that created by Arab people. But then it's chosen as language of the holy Qur'an because Rasulullah Muhammad (saw) and people among him spoke Arabic.
