Fun fact: stereotypical "pirate speech" is actually a relic of the English West Country dialect.
- Podrod 8mo agoNot so much a relic as it was West County actor Robert Newton putting on an exaggerated accent in his depections of Long John Silver and Blackbeard in several films of the 1950s. His depictions were extremely influential on later pirates in film.
