How did Scousers get their accent?

The Scouse accent like much else in the city owes its roots to Liverpool's position as a port. The melting pot created by the influx of people from far and wide was the foundation of the distinctive Scouse sound. The major influence comes from the influx of Irish and Welsh into the city.
