Yeah, I doubt the "common meaning" really covers it. To extend your example: I would bet (although I know no Swedish beyond "skål!"), that the manner in which you say those words would instantly make apparent (to a Swedish speaker) that you do not speak Swedish.

I think the commenters need to agree on a more-nuanced set of terms to reach agreement on this.
