Language games are primarily used by children, to disguise their speech from others. Some language games,
such as Pig Latin, are so widely known that privacy is
nearly impossible, as most people at least know how it
works and the words sound very similar to their English
counterpart. Although language games are not usually
used in everyday conversation, some words from language games have made their way into normal speech,
such as ilchay in English (from Pig Latin), and loufoque
in French (from Louchbem).
