Re: Pig Latin rules?

In Sweden there are mainly two varieties: _rövarspråk_
"Robbers' language" and _all-språk_ "/all/-language".

In the former and more widespread you replace each
consonant (C) by _CoC_, where the _o_ is pronounced
either /u/ or /o/.  Thus my name comes out as
_Bobenoncoctot_.

The all-språk, which was my favorite, is more like
Pig Latin, except it is /all/ which is grafted to
the end: _Enctball Ilipfall Onssonjall_.  I spiced
it up by using _-all_ on nouns and adjectives, -/iS/
(spelled _-ix_) on verbs and _-um_ on other parts
of speech.  This lingers on as the ergative ending -l
of my conlang Sohlob! :)
