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?

Everyone's account is 1 day old at some point. And only one of those clips is even remotely business-related. My general question is purely language-related - the specific contents of these clips are purely incidental.
