A spoken regional dialect is a dialect of a language that exists as a spoken (but not written) dialect in some area. For instance, using English as an example, there is an area of the American Southeast where people use something called double modals ("I might could help you with that" as opposed to "I might be able to help you with that") when speaking, but not in writing.

Since you asked this question in the Non-English section, German is a language comprised almost completely of a horde of very different dialects. However, the German government has been working for the last few hundred years to stamp these out. Take Saxon German, a dialect of German spoken in a region in the East bordering on the Czech Republic--one can speak Sächsisch (I'm not getting into a discussion here of where and when, since that is very much a personal choice), but one should not, say, write an essay in it.

In this tradition, characters in books can speak the dialect, but a book itself is very rarely written in a spoken regional dialect, and it's mostly for effect.
