At one point in our life, many perhaps all of us have either attempted to or successfully spoken in pig latin. If you were aware of the rules of this code, one would be able to have a coherent conversation with the person speaking but if you did not know the words, the conversation would sound like a bunch of gibberish. They rules of pig latin are :
1. If a word starts with a constant and a vowel, put the last letter of the word at the beginning of the word and add "ay."
Example: Happy = Yhappy + ay = Yhappay
2. If a word starts with two constants move the two constants to the end of the word and add "ay."
Example: Child = Ildch + ay = Ildchay
3. If a word starts with a vowel add the word "way" at the end of the word.
Example: Awesome = Awesome +way = Awesomeway
Example: Happy = Yhappy + ay = Yhappay
2. If a word starts with two constants move the two constants to the end of the word and add "ay."
Example: Child = Ildch + ay = Ildchay
3. If a word starts with a vowel add the word "way" at the end of the word.
Example: Awesome = Awesome +way = Awesomeway
If you feel like it, try an write a few sentences in accordance with these rules. Oodgay ucklay!

Pig Latin: the original uncrackable code. I remember when we used to use it to pass notes in third grade. We were so clever.
