Question

Which of the following lines from John Muir's "The Calypso Borealis" shows an example of dialect?

"I wish you would write me, say once a year,"
I sat down beside it and fairly cried for joy.
How long I sat beside Calypso I don't know.
"What were ye doin' there?"

Answer 1

The last one. "what were ye doin' there?" is not a typical form of speech, it shows a dialect

Answer 2

Thank you
