Joyce was particularly taken with the dialect; if Dublin speech is distinctive, Triestine speech is much more so, having its own spelling and verb forms and infusion of Slovene and other words. Not only was Triestino a special dialect, but the residents of Trieste, who had congregated from Greece, Austria, Hungary, and Italy, all spoke the dialect with special pronunciations. The puns and international jokes that resulted delighted Joyce.
