Abstract:
The author’s interview with a North Carolina State English professor uncovered the faint resemblance between the dialect popularized in movies and real life pirates like Stede Bonnet. What many may regard as “pirate talk” was popularized by English actor Robert Newton. How many pirates actually spoke reflected an Outer Banks residency or origin from a variety of countries, such as France, China, and Spain.
