However, some Internet users can read Leet, albeit with some difficulty. They used it to pass secret messages among members. Leet was started by an elite hacker group in the 1980s. For instance, “Hacker” is spelled where “|-|” represents “H,” represents “a,” “k” represents “ck,” “3” represents “e,” and “r” remains unchanged. Leet, Leet speak, or Hackspeak works by replacing individual letters in a word with a single number, symbol, or group of numbers or symbols that resembles the letter. “Pig Latin” translates to “igpay atinlay,” and for the curious, “Listverse” translates to “istverselay.” If it begins with a vowel, “way” is added to its end, so “awesome” becomes “awesomeway.” If it begins with a consonant followed by a vowel, the consonant is moved to the end of the word, and “ay” is added, so, “happy” becomes “appyhay.” If it begins with two consonants, both consonants are moved to the end of the word, and ”ay” is added, so, “child” becomes “ildchay.”Īn English–Pig Latin converter can be found here. Some Pig Latin words like “ixnay,” which was derived from the word “nix,” and “amscray,” which was derived from the word “scram,” have been adopted into the English language.Ĭonverting an English word to Pig Latin depends on the letter or group of letters that begins the word. It was first used around 1869 and has been called other names, like Hog Latin, Goose Latin and Dog Latin. Police officers are called “sharpy,” “lilly law,” or “charpering omi,” while an attractive man is called a “dish.” A telephone is called a “polari pipe,” while Polari itself means “talk.” A dictionary of Polari terms can be found here.Ĭhildren, and sometimes adults, use Pig Latin, which is formed by altering words of the English Language, to secretly communicate among themselves. “Vada” means “look at,” “dolly eek” refers to a pretty face, and a “chicken” is a young man. In Polari, sex is called “trade,” while “cottaging” refers to the act of looking for partners in bathrooms. If the stranger replied, they knew he was game, but if he did not, they continued minding their business-all without giving a clue to their sexuality. Polari allowed gays to secretly talk with themselves and strike conversations with strangers they felt were gay. Polari started off as a means of communication among British sailors in the 19th century but became the unofficial language of British gays between the 1930s and 1960s, when being gay was illegal in Britain. Here are ten secret languages explained in detail, complete with links to some dictionaries or converters we could find.
