My understanding is the main difference between Hindi and Urdu is that Hindi is in Devanagari script and Urdu is in a modified form of Arabic Script, and they can understand each others spoken language with ease, whereas Moroccans and Iraqis cannot understand each other at all. Why is this?

The term ‘language’ does not have a well defined meaning. Often political or social factors play heavily in what we call one language. Two political regions want to have independent culture? Like Hindi and Urdu, or the scandinavian languages. Will call mutually intelligable dialects different languages. Regions or groups that want to be culturially tied, will lump different languages into one. Like the arabic languages being under one religion, or the chinese languages.
