But that's fucking wrong mate. We can understand Swiss German perfectly fine, of course the are some regional variations that are more difficult to understand, but you the same with certain North and South German dialects as well.

Bullshit. They sometimes do add subtitles for really thick dialects (Bavarian German included), but even then they are unerstandable, unelss you are some North German fisheahs who doesn't even understand Bavarian.

I can't understand half of the shit Welshmen say.

I've heard that before, but that doesn't mean it's not a dialect. Deciding if something is a dialect or a different language is somewhat arbitrary anyway. Danish and Norwegian count as different languages, but they're closer than some dialects.
