Author: George Choundras
Publisher: Writers Digest Books
Year of Publication: 2007
About the Book:
Though not a novel, the Pirate Primer is the only book that covers how to properly speak like a pirate. While there are many Pirate-English dictionaries, none of them are as indepth as this one.
Choudras covers pronunciation, grammar and syntax, and attempts to record and define most all of the most distinctive phrases that have ever crossed the lips of a pirate in film, televison and literature.
The book is divided into two parts and has 22 chapters, and includes things like greetings, threats, insults, epithets, and devotes an entire chapter on the iconic Arrrrgh (which covers all 44 uses for the word).
Perfect for those who love pirates, love language, love interesting books, and for those who just want to be as authentic as possible on Talk Like A Pirate day (19th September).
