No, not as such. It's a "human" dialect and as such there is no nice reference like that. ;)

The wiki page sums it up pretty well, along with the unit tests. Basically:

1. Any word that begins with a vowel should have "way" appended to it:

is => isway

2. Any word that doesn't begin with a vowel should take its initial consonant sounds, move to the end of the word, and append "ay":

ball => allbay // single consonant
three => eethray // group of consonants
question => estionquay // "qu" sound
xylophone => ylophonexay // weird initial vowel

3. In addition, it should remember case of letter groups:

Pig Latin => Igpay Atinlay
PIG LATIN => IGPAY ATINLAY

4. Hyphenated words should be treated as two words, contractions as one:

south-west => outhsay-estway
don't => on'tday

5. Anything that doesn't fit into any of the rules above (numeric, weird punctuation, etc.) should be kept as-is:

*&^@#45 => *&^@#45

Hope that helps clarify things.
