Deveraux's work is always a treat. Incidentally, so is hearing Latin spoken with an Italian accent - so that it actually sounds spoken, rather than rehearsed.

Unfortunately if I learnt it myself I'd be required to join the Civil Service.

Heh, heh, heh. You're going to want to follow this one.
- MiguelX413 5y agoAs long as they use Classical Pronunciation and not Ecclesiastical
- throw0101a 5y agoTo learn about the differences, see video on Luke Ranieri's Polymathy channel: * https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XeqTuPZv9as https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XeqTuPZv9as Also: > How should Latin be pronounced? The debate has raged for more than a hundred years, but as the dust has settled two poles stand astride each other: the traditional Italian pronunciation, called Ecclesiastical, and the Restored Classical pronunciation. Is one more correct than the other? Is one more appropriate than the other in certain contexts? * https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GiPlJMWQci8 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GiPlJMWQci8
- dariosalvi78 5y agoSo I've just discovered the pronunciation I learned in school is basically medieval. Interesting to see how the classic one is actually even closer to Italian in some ways.
- Koshkin 5y ago"In some ways," perhaps... At least, the Italians do not insist that Latin 2000 years ago sounded like Italian does today.
- dariosalvi78 5y agoI'm italian and the way Latin is read with the classic pronunciation sounds very Italian to me except from the syllables "ce" and "ci". At least according to the video and IF that pronunciation is correct.
- Koshkin 5y agoThe biggest difference for me is the "eating" of the voiceless consonants before, say, 't': fatto vs. the original factum, etc.
