Assuming "Pig Latin" is English modified to look sort of like latin, to be
truly analogous you have to have a multiplicity of terms:

Pig Algol	-- C modified to look like Algol  (sh source)
Pig Pascal	--            |		   Pascal (Byte magazine source)
Pig Ada		--            |		   Ada
Pig RootBoy	--            |		   anything non-portable

I still like to bend the analogy and use "Pig C" to describe all of the above
as a group.
