A Gothenburg accent is essentially Swedish with all vowels reduced to "ö".
American English is essentially Irish English as spoken by non-native speakers.
Modern Tibetan is essentially Old Tibetan as spoken by people whose tongues
went numb from trying to actually pronounce Old Tibetan as written.
Danish is essentially Swedish as spoken with a potato in your mouth. (This
is a classic, and you may have it already.)
French is essentially Latin as mispronounced by invading Germans.
Quenya is essentially all of Tolkiens cellar doors lined up one after another.
