Lingua alert
Jeff Miller has gone to the trouble of translating the Our Father into Pig Latin. (or to go from Latin to Pig Latin - the Aterpay OsterNay). It’s not as easy as it looks......
We used to use a lot of pig latin to talk ‘around’ the children when they were little. Then they became quite fluent in it. And will speak to us in a urriedhay isperwhay when they are trying to communicate a secret.

If I have time I must start on a list of 1000 ways to humiliate and drive your children to distraction. Here’s a good one: I wrote a comment to Emily’s Latin teacher in Pig Latin. All in good fun. Not possessing the Latin necessary to communicate our pleasure with her progress, I simply wrote in the comment line of her report card: eway aray osay easedplay ithway erhay ogresspay. Emily’s take : otnay unnyfay
