Nonsense. Arabic is Arabic. It is not convoluted. It is sophisticated and powerful. You are mixing dialicts with languages. Go to rural -middle of nowhere- villages in Scotland. Good luck understanding a single word.

There's no hard line between dialects and languages. As they say, "language is a dialect with an army".
