Speaking of English, there is a question.
What is the most peculiar and/or difficult dialect of English to understand? Either by most English speakers or foreigners? South American? Aussie? Pakistani?
It probably depends mostly on the background and language-culture of the listener. For example, someone from the UK would probably have an easier time understanding someone from the hinterlands of Australia than would somebody from the Creole areas of the US southlands. Especially rural or isolated regions of a nation often develop peculiar vocabulary, terminology, and word pronunciations that render full understanding of certain speech difficult, even by others within the same nation.
