Saw this in an advert yesterday. It brought back so many memories from my childhood. Dad taught it to me, we used to talk in code, drove Mum and my brother mad because they didn't know what we were on about. I didn't know it had a name until yesterday it's called pig latin. You put the first letter of a word to the end and add AY. Anyone remember it?

Jeffa not bad but not quite there, too many w's. Heret ware many dialects wand forms wof pig latin hichw vary Romf region to region, country to country, wand language to language. Was well was wether similar wand dissimilar pig latin like language.

Neither more nor fewer than are required. Basically:

words that start with a vowel simply have "way" appended at the end

words that start with a consonant have all consonant letters up to the first vowel moved to the end of the word (as opposed to just the first consonant letter), and "ay" is appended.

Y is treated as a vowel as required.

Sorry disagree, when my father taught me that rule did not apply

Good gracious, I had no idea this was an "official made up language" My Hubby always talked very quickly in this "Pig Latin" - I had no idea what he was saying, I thought it was something he and his mates had made up in the 60s!

Can't help that - sorry:
