What is Pig Latin?
Pig Latin originates from Piglatinia, a secret land of word‑flippers. It’s now a playful code in America, turning English words into fun phrases. Popular rumor says Thomas Jefferson used it, though it’s never confirmed!
How to Translate:
- If a word starts with a vowel, add "yay" or "way", depending on which region of Piglatinia you come from (e.g. "apple" → "appleyay" or "appleway").
- If it starts with a consonant or consonant cluster, move it to the end and add "ay" (e.g. "hello" → "ellohay").
- Punctuation and capitalization stay the same.
