How Pig Latin Works

Pig Latin is a playful word transformation, not a full natural language.

Words beginning with vowels usually receive a suffix.

Words beginning with consonants move the starting consonant sound to the end.

Punctuation and capitalization are optional formatting choices.

There are several accepted variations.

Vowels, Consonants, Punctuation, and Capitalization

Vowel words

Keep the word and add a suffix, such as apple → appleway.

Consonant words

Move the leading consonant cluster, such as smile → ilesmay.

Punctuation

Punctuation usually stays attached to the word.

Capitalization

Capitalization can be restored after translation.

Pig Latin Rules and Variations

Some versions use way for vowel-starting words.
Some versions use yay for vowel-starting words.
Some versions simply add ay to vowel-starting words.
Y may or may not count as a vowel depending on the rule style.
Reverse Pig Latin is not always exact.
Classroom rules may differ, so options are clearly labelled.
