| abstract | - Eventually the Romans were overrun by the Goths, who brought their own language, Schweingesprach, with their pigs.

- Escribeday Igpay Atinlay erehay. (For those confused, that translates to "Describe Pig Latin here.") Pig Latin is an obfuscated form of English, which is translated into Pig Latin word by word. To translate an English word into Pig Latin, the beginning consonant or consonant cluster is shifted from the beginning of the word to the end of the word, and following it the vowel sound "ay" is added. As the examples show, some of the rules of Pig Latin are not consistently defined:
* Words beginning in a vowel have no initial consonants to shift to the end of the word, but the affixed ending in this case may be "hay", "way" or just plain "ay".
* Articles, prepositions and other small words are often left as is, notably in the stock expression "ixnay on the (omethingsay)."
* Since Pig Latin is a spoken language trope rather than a written one, Pig Latin words may be spelled literally ("upidstay", Pig Latin for "stupid") or altered phonetically ("oopidstay"); hyphens may or may not be used to disambiguate. Other obfuscated languages exist, such as:
* Tutnese or Double-Dutch (Ensligh)
* Javanese (French)
* Verlan (French)
* Rövarspråket (Swedish)
* Farfallino (Italian) Pig Latin is not related to dog Latin, except that they both tend to sound vaguely foreign. Examplesway:
