How similar are Arabian dialects? Can they talk to each other and be understood, like British and American, or have they drifted so far that they’re unintelligible?

It already exists and is called UTC. I worked in an office that provided “follow the Sun” technical support, we had offices in France, Germany, Washington, New York, Australia, and everything ran on UTC time. Much easier to coordinate meetings and shift handovers. Took a while to learn to think in UTC time as well as local time, though.
