My Rosh once paskined on this ( litvish listener/high speed chasidish reader) He said: firstly, it is a chovas tzibbur, and not a chovas yochid, and that if you can understand the reader that is enough, provided that not all the tzibbur not understand the reader. Most folks with any ‘exposure’ would generally understand the other-region dialect so it strikes me as preposterous that there are often multiple reading by zachor. I, once upon a time spent part of the year with a sfardi minyan, and I was sometimes, as the only moomche there, asked to read. When I would bluff a sfardi leining, they would tell me to go back to normal. I have made a casual study of Mizrachi Trop (all fourteen flavors) and I can do a better fake today than before, but in the very mixed minyan I lein for now, they acutally are very accepting of my o cholam, my attention to dagesh, ayin and the rafeh of all six beged kefes. My pronunciation is a kibbutz galuyot, just Teimani is a hurdle, and I have never heard or seen a transcription of Portugese nusach.
