What are the Pig Latin rules?

For words starting with consonants: move all leading consonants to the end, add "ay". For words starting with vowels: add "way" (or "yay") to the end. Example: "Hello" → "Ellohay", "Apple" → "Appleway".

Is there a way back to English?

Pig Latin is not easily reversible by algorithm because the original consonant cluster placement is ambiguous. It's primarily a one-way fun converter.

Does it preserve punctuation and capitalisation?

Yes. Punctuation stays attached to the appropriate part of the transformed word, and initial capitalisation is preserved where detected.

Can it handle multi-word phrases and sentences?

Yes. The converter processes each word individually, leaving spaces and punctuation in place, so full sentences and paragraphs translate correctly.

Pig Latin Converter

Translates English text into Pig Latin — a playful language game where consonants are moved to the end of each word and "ay" is appended. Words beginning with vowels simply get "way" or "yay" appended. Punctuation and capitalisation are preserved as much as possible.
