The procession finally halted before the graveside, and the coffin was set down with reverence. One of the gravediggers approached the priest and tugged his hat from his head. "Rev?" he said in a stage whisper. "I need a word, a sec." The priest looked down at the sparse fellow. "What is it, my man?" he asked, imperious. "It's the 'ole, see?" The man shifted his feet and averted his eyes. The priest cocked an eyebrow. "Early frost's made the ground too blo- Well, it's to 'ard to dig. We only managed four ana 'arf foot. Ent gonna be deep 'nough for the poor bugger, may'erestinpeace." The priest took the man by the elbow, leading him away from the sobbing women and the stony-faced men, all in their blackest finery. "Are you telling me you couldn't make the hole deep enough to bury Mr Wilson?" "Yessir. Like I said, it's the ground, sir. Frost's got in deep an' early this year." The priest, in his starched white robes, stood in distant thought, watching the mourners. He reached into his cassock, pulling out a silver shilling. "Mr Roach," he said, holding the coin up. "We shall inter Mr Wilson regardless. After all, it would be a pity not to give Mrs Wilson her closure." The priest looked at the gravedigger intently. "Do you agree?" The gravedigger looked from the money to the priest. "But sir, the regulations state-" The priest waved the coin. "Do you agree?" he said with more emphasis. "Yes, Rev," the gravedigger said, resigned, taking the coin. "Very good. Now let us go inter Mr Wilson," the priest said, ushering the way.

'I saaay, that was veddy chahm-ing, inserting FRENCH words into your speech, why do we not do this anymoh-ah? shame about your pronunciation of 'right' and 'such' like a barbaric Scotsman!'

Just rand’mly replac’ lett’rs with apostroph’s ‘n’ peopl’ will think your character’s from the for’st.

And I think their grammatical structure alone gives them away without making their speech harder to read. If we add in a mention of their vocal quality or whether they're sipping whiskey on the porch swing, they'll be 100% unmistakable, no extra apostrophes necessary.

Et cetera (in English; /ɛtˈsɛtərə/; Latin pronunciation: [ɛt ˈkeːtɛra]), abbreviated to etc., etc, &c., or &c,[1][2] is a Latin expression that is used in English to mean "and other similar things", or "and so forth". Et means 'and'; cētera means 'the rest'. In Latin, the expression means "and the rest (of such things)". It is a calque of the Greek καὶ τὰ ἕτερα kai ta hetera, 'and the other things'. (The more usual Greek form is και τα λοιπά καὶ τὰ loipa, 'and the remainder'.)

Interesting representation of... Pennsylvania Dutch American English, I think.

In most cases it is verbal blackface, making blacks look like they lack intelligence, excusing the racism against them.
