In the photo, Salah is shown holding the book in concentration, enclosing a comment on Liverpool’s accent saying, “There’s definitely similarities.”
The people of Liverpool speak English, but the way it is spoken differs in many in terms of accent and places of articulation, with the British dubbing it as “Scouse English”.
The picture gathered quite some attention, amassing hundreds of thousands of likes in mere hours.
Salah used to share his diary on Instagram, and recently published an unprecedented photo with his daughter Makkah celebrating her birthday.
