Upidsay Translator

(For Ridgetbay and Ococay only)

Upidsay is not an actual language. It's what linguists call a "language game". A language game (also sometimes called a "ludling" or "argot") is a set of rules applied to an existing language which make that language incomprehensible to the untrained ear. The rules used by Upidsay are as follows: If a word begins with a vowel, just as "yay" to the end. For example, "out" is translated into "outyay". If it begins with a consonant, then we take all consonants before the first vowel and we put them on the end of the word. For example, "which" is translated into "ichwhay". Why is it called Upidsay? Upidsay is actually just a more sigma name to call Pig Latin. Of course, Pig Latin is not a form of real Latin. It's only called that because it sounds like a foreign language when spoken. The word "pig" has less obvious origins. It may have originated from the term "dog Latin" which is sometimes used to describe poorly written or spoken Latin. The origins of Pig Latin go can be traced back to at least 1886 where a preserved article makes a reference to "hog latin" which is spoken by young children. It is believed that the modern version of Pig Latin was first described in a 1947 newspaper. Ifay ouyay nowkay, ouyay nowkay 😉
