Johnathan Mark:

In Arabic, no two from any of the Arabic-speaking countries would argue over how to pronounce a word, because Arabic is a good example of a language that applies the rule of how you spell, how you pronounce. But take me for instant coming form Jordan, I would need an interrupter to understand someone from Morocco speaking Arabic using his own dialect.

So I think your theory is not applying on Arabic language.
