Shotaye looked up at the monster, and, strange to say, returned his horrid grin with a smile and with encouraging winks. But the man did not move; he only let go her arms. So she rose. Thereupon he touched her right arm with his left hand, pointed at himself with the right, and uttered in a strange dialect, "Tehua."
"Secondly, His progress through the world is trouble and care. "Thirdly, His egress out of the world is nobody knows where. "To conclude: "If we live well here, we shall live well there. "I can tell you no more if I preach a whole year. "The collection will now be taken up." Dialect stories are usually rather difficult, and should not as a general thing be attempted by beginners.
"You working for the Sunk Creek outfit again?" said he. "No," said Shorty. Balaam turned to the Virginian again. "How do you expect me to get those horses to Sunk Creek by the 30th?" The Virginian levelled a lazy eye on Balaam. "I ain' doin' any expecting," said he. His native dialect was on top to-day. "The Judge has friends goin' to arrive from New Yawk for a trip across the Basin," he added.
"The dog of a Saganaw asks for mercy," said a voice from within the bomb-proof, and speaking in the dialect of the Ottawas. "His pale flag bespeaks the quailing of his heart, and his attitude denotes the timidity of the hind. His warriors are like himself, and even now upon their knees they call upon their Manitou to preserve them from the vengeance of the red-skins.
He spoke in the richest dialect of Scotch I ever heard; the words in themselves were a pleasure and often a surprise to me, so that I often came back from one of our patrols with new acquisitions; and this vocabulary he would handle like a master, stalking a little before me, "beard on shoulder," the plaid hanging loosely about him, the yellow staff clapped under his arm, and guiding me uphill by that devious, tactical ascent which seems peculiar to men of his trade.
Besides, to tell you a secret, his voice had a twang in it in the dialect I mean reminded me of a little tongue, which I think sweeter sweeter than the last toll of St. Dunstan's will sound, on the day that I am shot of my indentures Ha! you guess who I mean, Frank?" "Not I, indeed," answered Tunstall. "Scotch Janet, I suppose, the laundress." "Off with Janet in her own bucking-basket! No, no, no!
He spices his sermons considerably with the Lancashire dialect; isn't at all nice about aspirates, inflection, or pronunciation; thinks that if you have got hold of a good thing the best plan is to out with it, and to out with it any way, rough or smooth, so that it is understood. He never stood at philological trifles in his life, and never will do.

"What's gaein' on at the school the day, Annie?" asked Alec. "Naething by ordidar," answered Annie, the sweetness of her tones contrasting with the roughness of the dialect.
These writers in Venetian they are named because in no other Italian dialect has work so popular as Goldoni's been done, nor so excellent as Signor Fogazzaro's have left the unlettered local language in which they loved to deal, to its proper limitations. They have not given weighty things into its charge, nor made it heavily responsible.
Sanscrit, the sacred language of the Hindoos, shared the same fate, in spite of the veneration in which the Vedas are still held, and in spite of many a Sanscrit poem once popular and national.
