Yep. Robert Newton invented Pirate Talk for his role of Long John Silver, basing it on a Cornish accent.

Newton made two other pirate movies: “Long John Silver” and “Blackbeard the Pirate.” LJS is currently available on Tubi.
It was all three movies that made the Newton’s Devon accent THE pirate accent.
