What is the difference between pig Latin and Latin?

Pig Latin and Latin are very different! Here's a breakdown:

Pig Latin

* A language game: Pig Latin is a code-like way of speaking English for fun.

* Simple rules: You move the first letter of a word to the end and add "ay" (e.g., "hello" becomes "ellohay").

* Not a real language: Pig Latin has no grammar, vocabulary, or history like a real language.

Latin

* An ancient language: Latin was spoken and written in Ancient Rome and throughout the Roman Empire.

* Complex grammar: Latin has a complex system of declensions (word endings), verb conjugations, and cases (word functions).

* Influential language: Latin is the root of many modern European languages, including English, French, Spanish, and Italian.

Here's a simple analogy:

* Imagine Pig Latin is like playing a silly game of telephone.

* Imagine Latin is like studying a complex and beautiful language, like French or Spanish.
