Frequently asked questions
Why is decoding only approximate?▾
Pig Latin loses the exact length of the original consonant cluster — 'igpay' could come from 'pig', 'sip' or others. We assume the simplest case.
Are the rules standardised?▾
There are several variants. We use the most common: consonant cluster + 'ay', vowel-start + 'way'. Some traditions use just 'ay' for vowel-start.
Does it preserve punctuation?▾
Yes — only letter sequences are transformed. Punctuation, numbers and spaces pass through.
