Tying for first place would be slang-heavy Cuban accents - primarily because they drop half the letters in their words and holy shit do they achieve a velocity. It’s quite impressive. I had a bunch of Cuban friends in Costa Rica who affectionately called me “Como?!” because I had to ask “WHAT?!” so often in their presence. They would just lose me hopelessly. I actually think they were just making up shit by the end of it.
