More just Labskause.
No one is arguing the case. But Scouse is in at least three countries and Liverpool can't claim it for herself.But it is now Liverpudlian, which is undeniable even if it came from somewhere else originally.
We don't have a dialect only an accent. With a dialect others can't understand it. An e.g., of dialect is Creole. Everyone can understand a Liverpudlian. Liverpool has some slang words, and some, mainly the working class use them. No different to any other city in the UK.The late Fritz Spiegl was surely an expert on the Liverpool dialect and this is how one of his books is
Spiegel made a lot of money writing more comic books about Liverpool speech. He is no authority at all.
