Pronouncing the word "getting"

When some people pronounce the word "getting", it sounds to me like they're saying something like "get'n". Is that some kind of dialect?
Thank you.

Anonymous "get'n" It sounds like something people in the lower economic classes might use. I wouldn't call it a dialect. CJ
