Arab languages are simply dialects.
Few of the Arabs today can even speak the language of old.
Arabic is by far the hardest and most complex language there is, with the biggest number of vocabulary and the "weight" system used in poetry is unmatched, not to mention how beautiful the calligraphy can be.
If Arabs had anything worth studying, it's their language, and the fact that this goes almost always unnoticed shows either how dim-witted, narrow-minded or eurocentric most people who post here are.

Id probably be dead before I even get the chance to master these all in the same life and read what I want in its corresponding language lmao. Just try and learn 3 or 4 maybe 5 and read translations if there is something you MUST read in another language
