Ancient-Classroom-Approved Pig Latin: The Testamentum Porcelli
- dmurray 7y agoThis isn't what is normally meant by pig Latin. It's a humorous/parodic piece of classical Latin. It's pretty funny! It's striking how well it would fit in to 20th century comedy, and the author's translation does a good job of preserving the spirit of it. For a modern take on the part where the pig bequeathes his various body parts, here's John Prine's Please Don't Bury Me https://youtu.be/JfBdMXhpQnU https://youtu.be/JfBdMXhpQnU
- stephen_g 7y agoThe title is just a play on words, being a Latin story about pigs!
