General info

Pig Latin Rules

• If the word begins with a consonant, all letters before the first vowel are placed at the end of the word and "ay" is added
  • "pig" = "igpay"
  • "happy" = "appyhay"
  • "smile" = "ilesmay"
  • "trash" = "ashtray"
• If the word begins with a vowel, "way" is added
  • "eat" = "eatway"
  • "egg" = "eggway"
• If the letter "y" comes at the end of a consonant cluster, it should be treated like a vowel
  • "rhythm" = "ythmrhay"

When is "Y" a vowel or consonant

• Reference
• Y is considered to be a vowel if
  • There is no other vowel (ex. gym, my)
  • The letter is at the end of a word or syllable (ex. candy, deny, bicycle, acrylic)
  • The letter is in the middle of a syllable (ex. system, borborygmus)

Technologies

• Python 2.7
