Rhotic speakers pronounce the ‘R’ sound in the word “hard.”

Pirates must be rhotic speakers.

Pirates aspired to be from the upper crust of England. A few even were.

So Bawney Fronk would've been Barney Frank had he been born in Iowa, which is still considered the center of the most proper Shakespearean English.

The Pirate alphabet is much simpler....mainly “eye” and “arrgh”.
