Fusha is not a dialect,its the fluent Arabic which every Arabian can speak and understand..the main accents are 22,one for each Arab country.then there are tens for different parts in each country,try to count.....
for example,in Iraq;baghdadi and maslawi and dlaimi and basrawi and tikriti and hillawi and shahrbani,.....etc

This is what I found...I hope it helps:
The major groups are:

Egyptian Arabic مصري
Maghreb Arabic مغربي(Algerian Arabic, Moroccan Arabic, Tunisian Arabic, Maltese and western Libyan)
Levantine Arabic شامي(Western Syrian, Lebanese, Palestinian, and western Jordanian, Cypriot Maronite Arabic)
Iraqi Arabic عراقي (and Khuzestani Arabic) - with significant differences between the more Arabian-like gilit-dialects of the south and the more conservative qeltu-dialects of the northern cities
East Arabian Arabic (Eastern Saudi Arabia, Western Iraq, Eastern Syrian , Jordanian and parts of Oman)
Gulf Arabic خليجي (Bahrain, Saudi Eastern Province, Kuwait, UAE, Qatar, and Oman)
Other varieties include:

Ḥ***ānīya (in Mauritania and western Sahara)
Andalusi Arabic (extinct, but important role in literary history)
Sudanese Arabic (with a dialect continuum into Chad)
Hijazi Arabic حجازي (west coast of Saudi Arabia, Northern Saudi Arabia, eastern Jordan, Western Iraq)
Najdi Arabic نجدي (Najd region of central Saudi Arabia)
Yemeni Arabic يمني (Yemen to southern Saudi Arabia)

Answer 3

"Arabic" is not a single language, but a number of them. The general consensus among linguists is that there are several different languages, which are, in turn, divided into a couple dozen major dialects. The major languages are: Standard Arabic (no one's native language, but the commonly learned general language), Maghribi (Moroccan, Algerian, Tunisian), Maltese, Central Asian Arabic (Uzbekistani Arabic, Tajikistani Arabic), Judeo-Arabic (several varieties), Shuwa (Chadian), Hassaniya (Mauritanian), Mashriqi (Egyptian, Sa'idi, Libyan, Sudani, Najdi, Sanaani, Yemeni, Omani, Gulf, South Levantine, North Levantine, Anazi, North Mesopotamian, South Mesopotamian). I've probably forgotten one or two dialects.

Answer 4

A lot, each Arabic country has it's dialect, which also differs from east to west , north to south, you can hear three or four dialects in each Arab country, but everybody almost understand them all, there are 22 Arab countries,
