Well, in the same way French, Spanish, Romanian and Italian are dialects of Latin, perhaps so.
Speakers of Romanian will not understand speakers of Spanish. With Russian and Ukranian it's a different story - I watch movies dubbed into Ukranian and I can easily follow most of the conversations (I fail to understand only about 5%).

Не только видел я местечко "на севере", я еще и сам оттуда :-). У нас маленький город - это именно "мЯстеТко" (произносим со звуком "я" и такой вот как бы средний между "ч" и "т" звук).
btw, yes. Russian dialects have retained a lot more Slavic roots compared to the literary language. They are pretty much dying out though.

By the way, I wasn't talking about written language.
I am not, my wife is (a native speaker of Catalan Spanish) She tried listening to a Romanian program on TV once (a talk show) and said she couldn't understand what they were saying, only a word or two here and there.

Catalan Spanish? There is Catalan and there is Spanish. They are two separate languages.

Bite me. I was mocking the fact that you and your cheerleaders always assume that anyone forwarding a theory which contradicts the way you want to see the world must automatically be anti-Russian in nature, causing you all to go into full-on Defend-The-Motherland personal-attack mode. Even on a subject that is, by nature, fairly subjective and open to different interpretations.
As with, oh... practically any other subject raised anywhere on this forum, whenever a non-Russian says something the local patriots don't agree with, from the choices:
a) he has been taught a slightly different classification, or formed his own opinion based on his own experiences
b) he is simply mistaken
c) he is part of a massive anti-Russian conspiracy
you lot will all automatically chose c) every... single... time.
It's absolutely pathetic, but really rather entertaining at the same time, and I reserve the right to point and laugh at you wherever and whenever I want to.

Учите чешский. Там всё понятно: "To bylo žradlo! - 'Вот это накормили!'.
Ещё у них есть "ходидло", "возидло", "умывадло"...

I am not so sure about "bugger", but "old" is.

As you can see there are many more than only two words we can undertand.
Ну этак-то и я всё и понял! А вот почему грядет снижение ввозных пошлин, я не усек. Что-то там Евросоюз придумал.

As for Wowik, those cars are unknown here.
