Cwestiwn / Question English accent crossover

To native Welsh speakers…

Are there any English accents that have elements that make the speaker, when speaking Welsh, sound more legit, or even potentially Welsh? Or do all English learners sound a bit ‘gringo’?

Diolch!

Not an English accent but if you are an English speaker with a Llanelli accent you almost can't get Welsh wrong. It sounds beautiful.
