About Pig Latin

Pig Latin is a language game used primarily by English speakers, popular with children and among friends who want to keep their chatter semi-private. Its rules have existed in some form since at least the 19th century, and similar word games exist in many other languages. It's a playful introduction to how sound and spelling interact in English.
