pig latin
Pig Latin is a made-up language in which words in English are altered according to this rule: take the first consonant of an English word, move it to the end of the word and add "ay." For example, "Pig" becomes "igP-ay." The originals of Pig Latin are unknown. Contrary to its name, it does not reference Latin and pigs don't speak it.
RULES
-
Take the first letter, move it to the end of the word, add "ay" to the end. For instance "Cat" becomes "at-C-ay" and "Dog" becomes "og-D-ay."
-
For words with two consonants, move them both. For example "Play" becomes "ay-Pl-ay."
-
For words beginning with a vowel, add "-way" to the end. For example "At" becomes "At-way" and "Is" becomes "Is-way."
​
EXAMPLES
"Hello" translates to "ello-H-ay"
