In English language, I presume.

No aspirated occlusives.
d, b and g sometimes get replaced by t, p and k respectively (but without the aspiration!)
s, sh and z sometimes get conflagrated into s, ch sometimes into ts.
Generally, the rich English inventory of different sounds is reduced to a bit over 15 sounds.
The stress is usually on the first syllable.
S and t are pronounced from a slightly different part of the mouth than typical in English.
Then... You can also hear that I used to be talking quite a lot with Scottish people. It's funny how that sometimes makes itself visible.
