They indeed are! Was there any particular hint that led you to this conclusion?

Polish. Thanks for your guesses and congratulations to all those who were close or even hit the nail on the head, even if somewhat hesitantingly.

Your deduction is correct. They are Polish.

3·20 days agoI suppose that’s a pretty solid indication that they learned it well 🙂

3·20 days agoThat’s right, none of them is a native speaker of English - their English is learned via the standard combination of school, extracurricular courses, media exposure, and other typical means available in largely monolingual countries, and subsequently polished up abroad (at least two of them moved to Anglophone countries for university). Thus, I figured that the undercurrent of their native pronunciation should be sufficiently conspicuous to allow for making some educated guesses about their origin 🙂
