Of course, it has nothing to do with pigs. And nothing to do with Latin either, except that the derivation of the word Latin and the second half of Pig Latin are identical. Latin is simply the Semitic word LaSHoN = tongue, with the original dental-sound for the shin. Compare Ladino; and Lisan, the tongue of land that almost divides the Dead Sea into north and south parts.
