Calpurnia uses the term "niggertalk" to refer to the African American dialect spoken by the black community in Maycomb. She uses this term to highlight the difference in language and communication styles between the white and black communities in the novel "To Kill a Mockingbird." The use of this term reflects the societal divisions and racial prejudices present in the book.
