They do, but even English dialects can have misunderstandings. I see it happen in just the USA between "California English" and other dialects. Different word choice or slightly different meaning of words can make a big difference in tone and perceived intent.
Or as Lacy said, slang. If I'm talking OOC with someone who is from about the same area, my speech devolves into what people would normally attribute to "Valley Girl"
This is also a fun one (although limited to American English :< )
