I thought I might share a small phonetic game/challenge with you. All 3 individuals in the attached clips were born and raised in the same non-Anglophone country and speak the same native language. Can you tell, based on the peculiarities of their English pronunciation, what language it is?


“What for you are the giveaways that they are not native speakers?”
Their native language is the same as mine, so I presume I’m just sufficiently attuned to its sound to hear its influence peeking through. However, I suppose that the main giveaways for native English speakers might be the following ones in particular: No. 1 is mixing up several British accents, No. 2 puts too much emphasis on dropping the T and there is a certain Continental European hardness to her consonants, No. 3 devoices consonants at the end of words and her pacing might seem unnatural.
