You should listen to African English speakers...

This is probably common among many languages. Not that I have a common
understanding of the phenomena, but I can easily draw a parallel to
Portuguese. The European Portuguese is harder to understand to folks
learning the language than the non Portuguese dialects in Brazil,
African countries and even Macau in Asia.

This is also an issue among speakers of the language. European
Portuguese don't have any trouble understanding dialect speakers in
Angola, Brazil, Cape Verde, etc. But the those dialect speakers have
an hard time understanding the European Portuguese.
