It's like they all have the same language, but there are regions with different "accents" which pronounce certain letters differently, like a NY accent versus a southern accent would pronounce their vowels differently. But it's taken to an extreme, to the point where all the consonants are pronounced completely differently too--what is pronounced "Bo" to one group might be "Pe" to another group, just as a (completely fabricated) example.
