Speak Pig Greek!

     Many years ago, kids made up a language for fun, called Pig Latin.  So, also for fun, we made up pig Greek, which use sounds of real Greek.
      Learning Pig Greek takes practice to start, but once you get a feel for how the words are formed, you'll be exercising your brain and chatting away.  Pig Greek uses four sounds (chosen becuase a lot of real Greek words have these in them): Iklees, Yiklees, os and kro.
     If a group of kids learn together, you could have private conversations in Pig Greek! And, if you really get into it, see if you can find someone to help you begin to learn real Greek, and become a Greek-speaker!
 Iklees:  Use for "I''
 Yiklees:  Use for "you''
     For words beginning with consonants, move the consonants to the end, and add os.  For example, "I stay'' would be "Iklees ay-stos.''  "You go'' would be "Yiklees oh-gos.''
     For words starting with vowels, add kro before the word.  For example, the words am, are, and is would be kro-am, kro-are, and kro-is.

Ahnt-wos oo-tos eak-spos ig-pos eek-gros?
Icklees kro-am appy-hos.
Icklees ike-los o-tos eak-spos ig-pos eek-gros!
