Pig Latin Rules
Use
Pig Latin is mostly used by people for amusement or to converse in perceived privacy from
other persons. A few Pig Latin words, such as ixnay[1] (nix), amscray[2] (scram), and
upidstay (stupid), have been incorporated into American English slang.
Rules to Follow
The usual rules for changing standard English into Pig Latin are as follows:
In words that begin with consonant sounds, the initial consonant or consonant cluster is
moved to the end of the word, and "ay" is added, as in the following examples:
"happy" → "appyhay"
"question" → "estionquay"
"love" → "ovelay"
In words that begin with vowel sounds or silent letter, all you do is just add "way" to the end
of the word. Examples,
"egg" → "eggway"
"inbox" → "inboxway"
"eight" → "eightway"
