I think you need to combine the various Arabics and Pashtuns. It seems like those are dialects. It’s like saying British English and American English is separate.

I don’t think it’s quite the same…the differences are a bit greater in the separate languages listed here. I’m going based on how the source ethnologue.com categorizes languages.
