Consonants at the start of words move to the end followed by "ay". Words starting with vowels gain "-way".

How Do Pig Latin Rules Work?

Pig Latin is an argot (language game) in which English words are phonetically altered following two primary linguistic rules:

1. Words Starting with Consonants

All initial consonants or consonant clusters (like th, ch, str, qu, fl) are moved to the end of the word, followed by "ay".
• hello ➔ ellohay
• string ➔ ingstray
• queen ➔ eenquay

2. Words Starting with Vowels

Words that start with a vowel sound (A, E, I, O, U) remain unchanged in the front, and simply append "way" (or "yay") to the end.
• apple ➔ appleway
• awesome ➔ awesomeway
• island ➔ islandway
