What kind of language did the pigs use in book animal farm?

The pigs in George Orwell's *Animal Farm* don't use a specific, made-up language. They speak standard English, just like the other animals. However, they use language in a strategic and manipulative way to gain power and control over the farm.

Here are some ways the pigs use language in the book:

* Rewriting history: They change the Seven Commandments, making them vague or contradictory to justify their own actions.

* Creating propaganda: They use slogans like "Four Legs Good, Two Legs Bad" to control the other animals.

* Using complex language: They use complex words and phrases to confuse and intimidate the other animals, making themselves appear more intelligent and in control.

* Manipulating language to their advantage: They twist the meaning of words to suit their own purposes. For example, they rename themselves "comrades" instead of "pigs" to make themselves seem more approachable.

While the pigs use the same language as the other animals, they manipulate it to achieve their own goals. This shows how language can be used as a powerful tool for both good and evil.
