Mark Twain · 1884
Huck and Jim raft down the Mississippi. Read Adventures of Huckleberry Finn by Mark Twain page by page and explore its network of 605 people, places and things.
In this book a number of dialects are used, to wit: the Missouri negro dialect; the extremest form of the backwoods Southwestern dialect; the ordinary “Pike County” dialect; and four modified varieties of this last. The shadings have not been done in a haphazard fashion, or by guesswork; but painstakingly, and with the trustworthy guidance and support of personal familiarity with these several forms of speech.
