Riddley Walker by Russell Hoban.
Quoting from wikipedia:
The book is set “roughly two thousand years after a nuclear war has devastated civilization … [and] … is written in a stylistic, imaginary dialect based on and inspired by the dialect of Kent”
“The struggle with Riddley's language is what makes reading the book so absorbing, so completely possessing."
It takes a while for your brain to adjust, but once it does, you don’t even notice.
