Parseltongue Translator
Translate English to Parseltongue, the hissing speech of snakes.
What is Parseltongue?
Parseltongue is the fictional language of snakes, and of the rare people who can talk to them. It does not have a published dictionary the way Klingon does. What it has is a sound: long hissing sibilants, slithering s and sh, soft stops and drawn-out vowels that imitate the noise a serpent makes.
That makes it a different kind of project for a Parseltongue translator. Instead of finding the right word, the job is to make your sentence sound like a snake is saying it.

Any sentence works, but short and mysterious ones are best: threats, secrets, slow greetings.
