Oh yeah - one of our dialects actually became a language in its own right (Macedonian) and is officially considered to be "foreign" (which is weird because I understand 99% of what they say without any effort).

I remember a case with some American volunteers who studied Bulgarian and learned it pretty good... then they went to one of those crazy dialect villages and could not understand a single word. And they were really shocked by that.
