They certainly are.

One or more of you folks from India ought to think about building some
Indian-English translations as well. After all, 'Indlish' is spoken by
probably three or four times as many people as English-English. Whilst
UK, American and Indian English are still mutually comprehensible
(well, just about) they are certainly diverging quite a bit. I couldn't
quantify it but I'd say that Canadian and Oz/NZ English are much closer
to UK.

Remember the old linguists' joke - a language is a dialect with an army.
