Pig Latin Rules

1. General rule: take the first letter of a word, move it to the end, and add "ay". Example: "hello" becomes "ellohay".

2. A phrase with multiple words should translate each word: "hello world" becomes "ellohay orldway"

3. A word which begins with a vowel keeps its first letter, and just adds "way" to the end of the word: "eat apples" becomes "eatway applesway"

4. A word which is capitalized should remain capitalized after translation: "Hello world" becomes "Ellohay orldway"

5. A phrase with punctuation should maintain the position of the punctuation: "Hello, world!" becomes "Ellohay, orldway!"

6. A word beginning with multiple consonants should move all of them together to the end: "drunk strangers" becomes "unkdray angersstray"

7. The letters "qu" should stay together when moved to the end of a word: "quickly and quietly" becomes "icklyquay andway ietlyquay"
