Paul Laurence Dunbar's use of dialect was influenced by Scottish poet Robert Burns, who also wrote in dialect. Dunbar admired Burns's ability to capture the sounds and rhythms of everyday speech in his poetry, and he sought to emulate this in his own work. Both poets used dialect to give voice to the common people and convey a sense of authenticity and intimacy in their writing.
