Talk:Pirate language
Talking like a pirate
I've moved this page from the starting out section. Will be working on it more in the future. -Nikells
EDIT: Page is now titled "Pirate language" -User:Nikells
- I like the content, but not the name of the page. Got any better ideas for what this page could be called? --Barrister 22:08, 5 September 2005 (PDT)
- Swashbucklers Lexicon? If you have any better ideas I could always move the page. -Nikells 09:35, 6 September 2005 (GMT)
- It is probably best to go with something that clearly indicates what the page is about (which Talking like a pirate is and Swashbuckler's Lexicon is not) but also fun (vice versa). I cannot think of any suitable names offhand, however. --Bia 03:40, 6 September 2005 (PDT)
- How about something like "List of Piratey terms"? – Yaten talk 04:43, 6 September 2005 (PDT)
- That is even more boringly descriptive than "Talking like a pirate." -User:Nikells 15:01, 6 September 2005 (GMT)
- Uh, it is an encylopedic wiki afterall.... I'd suggest thinking of a name that is something that people would find while doing a search. "Pirate language"? --Guppymomma 07:47, 6 September 2005 (PDT)
- That would probably suffice. --Bia 09:42, 6 September 2005 (PDT)
- Sounds good to me! -User:Nikells 19:16, 6 September 2005 (GMT)
Etymology of 'Ye'
Interestingly, "ye" was originally a plural - the equivalent of the American "y'all", but only as the subject of a sentence. ("Ye shall me run!") "You" was also a plural but the object version. "Thou" and "Thee" were the singular versions.
- "Thou shall see me run"
- "I shall see thee run"
- "Ye pirates shall see me run"
- "I shall see you pirates run"
Later "ye" could be used as either subject or object, singular or plural. Of course, now "you" does the job of all four words.

'Ye' redirects here?
I was looking on menu information. Particularly the 'Ye' menu. Turns out 'Ye' is redirected to here. I can't find where the info on the menu is, so I can't add a redirect comment. --Moonfish1985 11:48, 29 June 2009 (UTC)
- What you want is Ye panel. But yes, that should be a disambig. --Belthazar451 11:56, 29 June 2009 (UTC)
