There are many common words in Arabic and Hebrew, i was surprised to see the long list, it must be easy for them to speak each other language, but i guess pronunciation must be very different as is the case in Urdu and Persian. I have few Iranian friends and we found that we have many common words but still it is very difficult for us to understand each other language and it is may be due to phonetics.
