Frequently asked questions
What is Pig Latin?
Pig Latin is a made-up language game. Words that start with a consonant move that consonant (or consonant cluster) to the end and add -ay, so happy becomes appy-hay. Words that start with a vowel simply add -way or -ay at the end.
Who uses Pig Latin?
Pig Latin is mainly spoken by children and used as a playful secret language in English-speaking countries. It is also commonly heard in movies, TV shows and games.
Why do some words translate back differently?
Converting Pig Latin back to English is slightly ambiguous for a few words that start with consonant clusters (such as stay or street). This tool picks the most likely English reading, and the English-to-Pig Latin direction is always exact.
