Nyazilluners could speak English pretty well if they could pronounce more than one different vowel in any one sentence.
That monovowel thing is their downfall.
The Strines have a slightly different problem. They can can stretch to two, maybe three, vowels, but they have to share a communal total IQ of 100 across thousands of miles.
