    Woah woah, hold your horses cowboy 🙌 I was tryin to be funny. No of course no, I lived with arab people in an arab neighbourhood, I’m well aware.

    That said tho…….

    Gulf countries are very similar I’ve been told (never been). Kinda like german and austrian people, spanish and italian, nordic and sweden, scottish and irish people. Indistinguishable. /s

      Spanish (that be what, Galician, Castillian, Catalonian, Basque, Andalusian?) people between themselves are as different as “German and Austrian”. Actually the difference between Bavaria and Austria is in history and nation lore, not in dialects. Roughly. Of course there is dialectal difference too.

      I guess you could say “Spanish and Occitan” for the comparison to be right.

      OK, after “nordic and sweden” I looked for that “/s” and found it, sorry.
