    Along with that, Arabic would fall into a similar linguistics branch with Armenian and Russian (however ancient it is).

I'm a linguistics student and I'm here to tell you that it's way off the mark. They are in the same linguistic family - the Indo-European languages - but to make them stand beside each other is like saying that Icelandic is similar to Hindi. For a native English speaker either for the three languages you mentioned would appear alien, but that doesn't make them similar.
