Lombard speech, speech produced in noise, has been extensively studied in native speakers, while non-native Lombard speech research is limited. This article presents the first corpus of non-native Lombard speech, the Dutch English Lombard Native Non-Native corpus, which includes plain and Lombard read speech from native American-English, non-native English (native Dutch), and native Dutch women. The location of contrastive focus is systematically varied in the sentences. We investigated how intensity, spectral center of gravity, word duration, and VOT varies in the corpus as a function of plain versus Lombard speech and whether it is modulated by the speaker’s nativeness and of the language. We did not find differences in how the native and non-native English speakers adapted their English speech in noise, indicating that the Dutch non-native speakers produced Lombard speech similarly to the native English. The comparison of the native Dutch and non-native English sentences produced by the same participants nevertheless suggests that, for all acoustic measurements except word duration, the Dutch speakers adapted their Lombard speech differently in native Dutch than in non-native English. Combined, this would indicate that, when speaking English, Dutch speakers adapt their way of speaking in noise to the way native English speakers do
