Pig Latin is just a language game used in English. In Britain, they call it "backslang". People sometimes use Pig Latin to discuss things that they don't want other people to hear.
According to a website I found, the inventor was a man who was injured in the Amazon jungle. The Pygmy tribe helped him and he learned their language. After his friends found him, he taught it to them and it spread.

Go to www.snowcrest.net---It is an English into pig Latin translator page. It looks like a lot of fun. That's not really answering your question but its a start. Enjoy after the net type /donnelly/piglatin.html Please do this you will be pleasantly surprised.

Kids love it because they think they can keep their secrets from their parents. They don't realize that their parents did the same when they were kids!
I don't know who made it up. The only pig Latin word I know that has made it into the common vernacular is"amscray," pretty universal for "Scram."

Not sure of the origins but it is in the classification of artificial languages. That is languages that are made up like Esperanto one of the more popular artificial languages. Oodgay ucklay.

No, it is not a real language, but an English language game.

this is rather an outstanding thought!! You adult males ought to all learn jointly. there are a number of classes that teach you languages. you purely ought to browse around and check accessible rankings and what no longer.

No. It lacks the gramatical completeness of Ubby Dubby language.
