Pig Latin is a playful language game built from a simple, consistent rule: for a word that starts with a consonant cluster, move that cluster to the end and add "ay"; for a word that already starts with a vowel, just append "way". This tool applies that rule to every word in your text while leaving punctuation and spacing untouched, and it preserves the original capitalization so "Hello" becomes "Ellohay" rather than "ellohay". It's handy for classroom demonstrations, kids' games, or just amusing yourself and your friends with a secret-code style message.
Words that already begin with a vowel (like "apple" or "eat") simply have "way" appended, giving "appleway" and "eatway" — there's no consonant cluster to move.
Yes — only the letter runs of each word are translated. Capital letters at the start of a word stay capitalized on the translated word, and punctuation, numbers, and spacing are left exactly where they were.
Pig Latin has no single official standard — different people apply slightly different rules for consonant clusters like "qu" or "th". This tool uses the most common convention: move everything before the first vowel to the end and add "ay".
Type or paste English and it comes back in Pig Latin. Words that begin with consonants move those letters to the end and add "ay"; words that start with a vowel just get "way" on the back. Capital letters and punctuation stay where they were, so a sentence still looks like a sentence.
Mostly it's for fun: secret messages for kids, a party game, a caption, a joke. It's also a small language puzzle that some teachers use to show how words break into sounds.
The rules are the common school version. Variants exist, such as adding "yay" instead of "way", so if you know a different one, compare the output before you rely on it for a game or a class.
Hello world, this is pig latin
Ellohay orldway, isthay isway igpay atinlay
Words in all capitals stay in capitals, and numbers and symbols pass through untouched.
