What a pirate says depends on where he/she is from. You see, British Pirates/Privateers originally said "Arr", but with a silent "G", spelled "Garr". This was descended from norse Viking/Pirates who pronounced the "G", making it "Garr". Finally, American/New World Pirates changed the "G" to a "Y"... making it "Yarr".

Of course, the real question isn't what Pirates said, but rather what kind of socks they wore?

Arrrr-gyle!

Yarr. It has always been Yarr, sometimes, when they're feeling rather emotional, Pirates may deviate to things such as 'arr' or 'garr' but that's only really when they run out of rum.

Semantically speaking...

Yarr! - the more general use form
Arr! - more aggressive/to express displeasure
Garr! - the emotive form

Not terribly much since they use both Yarr and Arr. But if you want the original site for Talk Like A Pirate Day, here it is: http://www.talklikeapirate.com/piratehome.html
