    Neither. I can speak it very very very slowly.
    Here's a guide I found that teached me how to:


    Pig Latin is a twist of English for people who want to be silly, or for kids who don't want their parents to know what they're talking about. There are different ways in which people speak pig Latin. I only know a few ways. Here are the ways I have learned:
    For words which begin with a single consonant take the consonant off the front of the word and add it to the end of the word. Then add ay after the consonant. Here are some examples:

    cat = atcay
    dog = ogday
    simply = implysay
    noise = oisnay
    For words which began with double or multiple consonants take the group of consonants off the front of the word and add them to the end, adding ay at the very end of the word. Here are some examples:

    scratch = atchscray
    thick = ickthay
    flight = ightflay
    grime = imegray

    For words that begin with a vowel, just add yay at the end. For example:

    is = isyay
    apple =appleyay
    under = underyay
    octopus = octopusyay


    --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
    Here is another dialect for words that begin with a vowel. First, add a y at the beginning of the word. If the word ends in a vowel, add yay at the end. For example:

    extra = yextrayay
    amuse = yamuseyay
    orange = yorangeyay
    echo = yechoyay
    If the word ends in a consonent add y at the beginning of the word, and ay at the end of the word. For examle:
    answer = yansweray
    otter = yotteray
    excellent = yexcellentay
    interest = yinterestay

    --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
    Here is another variation of words that begin with a vowel and end in a consonant:
    Add ay at the end. Examples:
    after = afteray
    instinct = instinctay
    olives = olivesay
    elect = electay

    --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
    Here is another dialect for both words that begin with consonants and words that begin with vowels.
    If the word begins with a consonant, take the consonant(s) before the first vowel and put them at the end of the word, adding a at the end.For example:
    crimson = imsoncra
    yellow = ellowya
    hi = iha
    If the word begins with a vowel just add a at the end. For example:
    alaska = Alaskaa
    ever = evera
    and = anda
    igloo = iglooa

    Yes. We play some game where the cards tell a player to only speak in an odd way, and one of us chose to speak only in pig latin. Naturally his phone rang and he had to talk to the caller in p.l. or lose the game! Thank goodness it was his son, who has a sense of humor.
