    Default Sicilian accent in English: how it sounds to you?

    These are Sicilian language speakers, NOT Italian speakers. It is not an Italian accent in English from Sicily, it is the dialect accent.

    Sounds like an Italian accent where they seem to also have good English skills which influences it

    Maybe a bit Balkan-influenced as well
