So 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.
