Most probable dates: 1972. .... pig.b is an interesting artifact: it is a B program that echoes what you type in Pig latin. (Incidentally, there is a translation of this program into C, dated 1978, in a subdirectory that still spins on a disk attached to the Unix machine where I get my mail.) This jiggled a nerve in my brain, that FINALLY connected. The TMG manual in the Multics System-Programmer's Manual by Robert R. Fenichel and M. D. Mcilroy, pub. April 17, 1967 has a sample TMG program to translate english to Pig Latin. https://people.csail.mit.edu/saltzer/Multics/Multics-Documents/MSPM/bn-4-02.670417.tmgl-reference.pdf#page=31 It appears (in translation) as a test to a port of PDP-11 TMG: https://github.com/amakukha/tmg/blob/master/test/086_pig_latin/pig_latin.t I haven't yet compared pig.b to the program in the TMG manual.
