Pig Latin is a type of language meant to be a decryption that consists of a simple changing of English words. In pig latin, the beginning consonant of a word is moved to the end of the sentence to form a syllable starting with the consonant and ending with "ay." Therefore, the Pig Latin translation of "Jim threw the ball" is "Imjay hrewtay hetay allbay." I was curious to find why it was called pig latin, but found out that the "Latin" is just a misnomer; it is just a way to make pig Latin further sound like a strange and foreign language. It really has nothing to do with Latin.
