Yup.  Difficult to learn, practically no one outside the U.S. can
speak it fluently, and it is borrowing-resistant like German,
so there isn't even a hope of guessing at the content by using
loanwords -- there are hardly any loanwords to guess at.
Oh yes: the accent of a non-native speaker is instantly obvious,
because the native accent is rather unvaried and extremely
crisp.
