Aye, t'Pirate Language be a fine fine tongue!

There be some general rules about speakin' like a Pirate. Firs'
things first, ye take all words with "r" in 'em and stretch out the sound. So "word" becomes "worrrrrrrrd", "scurvy" becomes
"scurrrrrrrrvy" and "murderer" becomes "murrrrrr-derrrrrrr-errrrrrr". Don't be sayin' "you", say "ye" or "yer". Don't be sayin'
"for", be sayin' "fer". Don't be sayin' "to", be sayin' "ter". "G's" at t'end of verbs be the mortal enemies of Pirates! "Pirating"
should be a-spoken as "piratin", "drinking" becomes "drinkin", "falling" be "fallin". Use the word "be" a lot, 'tis a fine word. Whenever you be a-wonderin' what ter say next, say "Arrrr!" Fer the lazy land lubbin' pirates who can't be a-bothered ter learn
Pirate fer themselves, there be an excellent English-Pirate translator at t'official Headquarters, www.talklikeapirate.com. There also be great grand Pirate vocab lists at www.yarr.org.uk and www.talklikeapirate.com. I be wantin' ter compile a list of movies and books featurin' Pirate language fer those lookin'
fer some audio assistance in learnin' Pirate. If yer have any suggestions, email me at capn_rummy@hotmail.com ........................................................................................................................................... On the book front, Captain Blood'n'Guts (aka Terry) be recommendin' the novels o'Jeffrey Farnol,
who be an English author born o'er a hundred yarrs ago. Especially 'Martin Conisby's Vengeance'. Fer movies, Blood'n'Guts (and t'rest of t'world) be suggestin' 'Pirates of the Carribean'.
Fer TV, ABC's "Vampire Pirate and Aliens". Cap'n Rummy: I a-searched fer this
on Google, but didn't be findin' it. Blood'n'Guts also be likin' 'Treasure Island' and 'Peter Pan', which be fallin' inter
both categories. Cap'n Rummy: The author of "Treasure Island", Cap'n Robert Louis Stevenson, also be t'author
o'the All Time no.1 Pirate Hit, "Yo Ho Ho and a Bottle of Rum". Thar was a creative Pirate if thar ever was one. Cap'n Feline, o'the good ship 'The Gangrenous Scab' Cap'n Rummy: Good
name! be recommendin' "Yellowbeard", his favourite Pirate movie. And Cap'n Nat be suggestin' "Escape from Monkey
Island", t'classic computer game fer young geeky pirates in trainin'! |
