From the title, I thought this was going to be about something else.
I've experienced a somewhat similar situation, but where everyone is speaking the same language. Due to accents and dialects, not everyone can understand each other, though.
Esl (English as a Second Language) speakers are usually better at understanding heavily accented speakers. Even when the accent does not match their own.
This can sometimes lead to a situation where everyone is speaking English, but only the esl people can understand the others.
Also, as a native English speaker I can mostly understand dialects like Chinglish, but they struggle to understand anything I say.
