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 country and speak the same native language. Can you tell, based on the peculiarities of their English pronunciation, what language it is?
Are they poles

They indeed are! Was there any particular hint that led you to this conclusion?
The way the woman in the third clip make her way around the tongue twister, or made a tongue twister out of it
There’s also that unusual rolling or blending of syllables that I initially thought was how some computer nerds speak, but the woman in clip two was doing it more distinctly
They have rather different accents though which made it quite hard to guess, didn’t notice anything obvious in common across all three
