Y'know how a brogue is English spoken with some kind of Irish accent? Is there a more generic word or term, in English, which means pronouncing a series of words with an accent which is distinctively from another language?

The scots have a Burr (equivalent to the irish brogue).
These are not dialects, a dialect is a language that is an offspring of another language, adding and changing certain words.
An accent is a way of pronouncing the words in a language...
English has many accents...
irish brogue
scottish burr
cockney, kentish, oxfordian, yorkshire, liverpudlian, etc...
The main accent is called the BBC accent it is the standard british accent used by professional and well educated people in Great Britain, particularly in the south.

The Australian accent is also quite different and unique.

The Canadian is also different, though similar to the US.

The USA has what is called a
General American accent which is the most common, espècially in the central and western parts of the country
There are several more, the most well known being:
texan drawl or twang
southern drawl
newenglander
bostonian, etc....

The real Nazis ,like the globalist Bildbergerg Group, already exist and control Ireland. They comprise the shadow government that control Ireland just like most everywhere else. Take a look at former Irish Attorney General, Peter Sutherland's resume, if you doubt this. He's the EU's NO.1 enforcer there.

I don't know what term that would be but the word "brogue" comes from the irish word "bróg" which is the Irish word for shoe. That's all I know as to the background of the word and its terminology.

Yes, I think drawl would be the closest.
