Frequently Asked Questions
What are the rules of Pig Latin?
If a word starts with a vowel, add "way" to the end. If it starts with consonants, move the whole starting cluster to the end and add "ay": "pig" becomes "igpay", "string" becomes "ingstray".
How accurate is the decoder?
Decoding is partly ambiguous — "igpay" could come from "pig" or "gpi" — so the decoder applies the standard rules and handles the common "way" and single/cluster "ay" cases well for typical words.
Does it keep punctuation and capitalisation?
Punctuation stays in place, and a capitalised word produces a capitalised result, so sentences remain readable.
Is Pig Latin a real language?
It is a playful language game used in English for centuries, popular with kids and famously referenced in films and books.
