Pig Latin

Definition - "a secret language formed from English by transferring the initial consonant or consonant cluster of each word to the end of the word and adding a vocalic syllable"



For words that begin with consonant sounds, all letters before the initial vowel are placed at the end of the word sequence. Then, "ay" (some people just add "a") is added, as in the following examples: "pig" = "igpay" "banana" = "ananabay"

Back Slang

There were several versions of this unique form of communication, which some believe came from the Romany culture. For instance, "window" might become "indoway"; "dinner" = "innerday".
