The nickname for both the city and its distinctive accent, scouse, is derived from the eponymous stew. The origins of the name are lost but the similarity of the name to Scandinavian words for ship's stews points to a maritime derivation. Due to the large influx of Irish immigrants into the port in the 19th Century the accent is very distinct from that of the surrounding area. Those speaking Scouse will include a large number of typically Irish elements into their speech.
