The Scots language is a good counterpoint - they aren't just speaking "English" with an accent and the odd bits of different vocabulary such as the word "outwith". And Frisian comes close, e.g. "Bread, butter and green cheese is good English and good Fries", which sounds not very different from "Brea, bûter en griene tsiis is goed Ingelsk en goed Frysk". https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/West_Frisian_language https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/West_Frisian_language
