Pig Latin

Rules: Vowel-start word → add way at the end. Consonant-start word → move the leading consonant cluster to the end and add ay. Example: hello → ellohay, egg → eggway, strong → ongstray.

Why Pig Latin?

Pig Latin is a language game played in English-speaking countries since at least the early 1900s. It's not actually Latin — the name was a joke about it sounding fancy and unintelligible. Children use it as a "secret code" between friends; adults occasionally use it for harmless code-words.
