Pig Latin is a variant on English used by many American children. The rules are fairly simple: The first consonant (non-vowel) sound of each word is moved to the end of the word and followed by "ay". For example:
some simple pig latin wordswould become
omesay implesay igpay atinlay ordsway
Many languages have similar childhood variants. Another English
variant is called Ubby Dubby. In Ubby Dubby, each vowel is preceded
by "ubb":
Hubbere ubbis subbome Ubbubbubby Dubbubbubby.
(Here is some Ubby Dubby.) We have designed the project
(and some of the accompanying utilities) for Pig Latin, but you
are welcome to implement some other language variant if you wish.
