Of course, it has nothing to do with pigs. And nothing to do with Latin either, except that the derivation of the word Latin and the second half of Pig Latin are identical. Latin is simply the Semitic word LaSHoN = tongue, with the original dental-sound for the shin. Compare Ladino; and Lisan, the tongue of land that almost divides the Dead Sea into north and south parts. The "pig" in Pig Latin is related to Semitic peh-gimel-(heh) PaG(aH) = boy (or girl) before puberty. Compare English "page" = a boy servant or attendant, or the redundant "pageboy" haircut. There are a wide variety of children's languages. To the extent that they are designed to keep secrets from adults, they *must* change every generation.
