Thanks Huds. Ok, lets learn, then play. Heres what Wikipedia says (thanks Huda ).. thank god for Wikipedia!: The usual rules for changing standard English into Pig Latin are:
For words that begin with consonant sounds, move the initial consonant or consonant cluster to the end of the word and add "ay." Examples:
button -> uttonbay dough -> oughday happy -> appyhay loser -> oserlay question -> estionquay star -> arstay three -> eethray trash -> ashtray
For words that begin with vowel sounds (including silent consonants), simply add the syllable "way" to the end of the word. Examples:
Amsterdam -> Amsterdam-way eagle -> eagle-way hour -> hour-way orange -> orange-way The most common variation in Pig Latin is to replace the "way" in the second rule with other suffixes such as "ay", "yay", or "hay"; thus, "eagle" ¨ eagle-ay, eagle-yay, or eagle-hay, depending on the rules. However,the most common among these is "way".
Another variation is to take only the first letter and put it at the end, and add -ay, so "they" becomes "heytay", rather than "eythay".

I think we should start with the easiest, words starting with vowels, because you don't change anything just adding way at the end, what do you think? should we start? but please members do read the rules and particpate..

so the rules say that we can add 'yay' or 'hay' but let's stick to 'way' like the word, 'orange'== orangeway so I think that's how! ok let me give you some words: umbrella egg ants onion
