Dialects should definitely count, as long as they differ substantially from one another.
Actually, this is something I'd like to understand: Speaking Moroccan Arabic would I be able to talk to an Egyptian without any knowledge whatsoever of Classical Arabic? How about the other way around? Are the "dialects" just like the different variants of English, or are they more like French, Italian, and Portuguese?

Man, I just had the most fucked up experience. I had coffee with someone who didn't understand me and vice versa, yet we understood each other in some caveman sort of way. She's hot too, I must find a way to make it happen. My guess is cue cards or ear piece.

pulling out your wang is not a linguistic maneuver
You can sound that out and figure out what is being said. When you hear it, it sounds very close to English!
Well those few examples look quite similar to other languages...to me they actually look like as if a very drunk german tried to write something in english. Something clearly different but similar enough to other stuff you know that you could get the gist of it.
