Dialect.

Explanation:

Mark Twain's "The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn" follows a young orphaned boy on his adventures along the waters of Mississippi. Accompanied by a slave Jim, the duo's encounter with various people and the experiences they had on their "search for adventure" is what comprises most of the story.

In the given excerpt from chapter 8, the character of Jim is speaking in what Twain describes as "the Missouri Negro dialect". Now, a dialect is a specific way of speaking or use of certain words for a particular area or group of people. And Jim's use of the words in that manner, like the "I's" "wouth" "mo" etc., is an example of a dialect.
