When I taught English in Malawi, we were told that a group of East African students went to London and spoke to a group of West African students - all in English.  Turns out that neither group could understand the other.

How true that story is I don't know, but considering the wide variations we get in spoken English here at Laurelbrook and the wide variations among the missionaries we served with in Malawi it might possibly be true.
