We use data from Speech Accent Archive containing over 700 speaking almost 160 different native languages. show that besides several important predictors, including age onset length residence, linguistic distance between speaker’s language is a significant predictor pronunciation. This extends earlier (Schepens et al., 2013) only focused on Indo-European learners Dutch used general proficiency measure.
