What Is Pig Latin Converter?

A Pig Latin converter transforms English text into Pig Latin, a playful language game. The rules are simple: for words starting with a consonant, move the consonant cluster to the end and add "ay" (e.g., "hello" → "ellohay"). For words starting with a vowel, add "yay" to the end (e.g., "apple" → "appleyay"). The converter handles capitalization, preserving the proper case in the transformed word, and leaves non-alphabetical tokens (numbers, punctuation) unchanged.

Technical Guide

Pig Latin conversion processes each word by first checking if it starts with a vowel (a, e, i, o, u). Vowel-initial words get "yay" appended. Consonant-initial words find the consonant cluster (consecutive consonants before the first vowel), move it to the end, and append "ay". The algorithm preserves capitalization: if the original word was capitalized, the transformed word is also capitalized at its new first letter. Word boundaries are detected using regex \b, so punctuation attached to words is handled correctly.

Tips & Best Practices

  • 1
    Words starting with vowels: "apple" → "appleyay", "orange" → "orangeyay"

  • 4
    Punctuation and numbers remain in place
  • 5
    Pig Latin has been a popular language game since at least the 1800s
