Pig Latin is a playful English language game children use as a “secret code”. It follows a simple rule but sounds like gibberish to people who don’t know it. Variations exist – some use “yay” or “ay” after vowels – this translator uses the common “way” ending. Everything is calculated in your browser, so nothing you type is sent to our server.
