Words starting with a vowel get way added. Words starting with consonants move that opening cluster to the end and add ay.

Pig Latin is a playful word game that rearranges the letters of each English word by a simple rule.

Words that start with a vowel get way added to the end, while words that start with consonants move that opening cluster to the end and add ay.

This translator applies those rules to your text while keeping capitalisation and leaving punctuation in place.
