I hate to spoil the fun, but pirates never said YARR or any of that. They weren't from some exclusive "pirate country" where everyone talked like a sea dog, they were rebel sailors from European countries or American colonies who spoke in their respective languages. The reason people think pirates talk like that is because of the way characters spoke in RL Stevenson's book Treasure Island, which was published more than a hundred years after the golden age of piracy.

As far as the list you linked to, most of those are plain nautical terms that were used by all seamen around that time, be they buccaneers, fishermen, slave traders, or the navy.
