5. Thank you. Here is another trial, lets see what "no" does

non=ohnay
αριθ=ριθaye
não=ohnay
hmmm, perhaps we should make Pig Latin the Universal Language?

3. Many similar systems
There are lots of similar systems, including alternatives for English.

See "language games" at Wikipedia: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Language_game
