Well said: ''the limit of my language, is the limit of my world''. I add , and the limit of my imagination and thinking. As an Iranian , the Arabic grammar was in our study curriculum. Arabic is easy language: once we learn one root word and learn the inflection rule , we know 16 words. Example: root word KTB then Ketab= book Mokatebeh= writing Maktab= place reading book and so on. Plus , Arabic is very rich in vocabulary. Arabic was a developed language 1400 years ago, and we owe it to Yemen civilization, ( in my opinion the mother of entire west Asian civilization). What was the status of English, and German language 1,400 years ago?

The earliest attested arabic is from 853BC so 3000ish years ago and not 1400 years ago. Absolutely no linguist will agree with the "Arabic is from Yemen" thing either which goes against all philological evidence. If you don't know what you're talking about (which you obviously don't given that you don't know shit about Semitic philology) please don't spread random disinformation.

English being a Germanic language, I would assume there has been a lot of divergence from German over such a length of time. Dialects end up changing based upon geographic locations and over time it evolves into something different. Even in the United States, there are quite a few differences from region to region. I grew up in Nashville, TN and in my late teens I visited Greenville, TN and I could not understand some of the rural people there! They may as well have been speaking Greek! LOL. I understand there are also several different dialects in Arabic, some of which cannot be understood even by Arab speakers of other dialects. Language and it's evolution is an interesting thing and every generation adds new words to the Lexicon. My daughters have their own language sometimes and I have to ask for a translation! 😆
