I read that pirate talk to a great extent came from Robert Newton who was Long John Silver in the 1950 Disney movie.
Apparently the area of England where he was born they really do talk a bit like that.

I forgot to mention the movie was “Treasure Island” of course.
Some of it came from the book such as “15 men on a dead mans chest, yo ho ho and a bottle of rum”.

Are you implying that Talk Like a Pirate Day is some kind of trumped up hoax and not a celebration of our true cultural heritage?
You are so walking the plank limey!

When my Daughter was around 4 years old, I was just playing with her and I talked like a pirate for just a few words. This would have been nearly 35 years ago.
Anyway she told me: “talk like that again”. I guess even kids recognize the interesting words and inflection of pirate talk.

FWIW Captain Morgan was one of the most brilliant military strategists in History. For Pirate week I would suggest reading Empire of Blue Water.

I guess even kids recognize the interesting words and inflection of pirate talk. Don't say "even kids" say "especially kids". They have a genius for this sort of thing. Their minds are pure and clear. I state this authoritatively as a grandfather.
