Irish druids also spoke Latin

At the beginning you mention the time between the fall of Rome and the invention of the microphone I think the invention of the phonograph would make more sense, since they actually records your voice
Comment from : @reedr7142

I took latin in junior high I don’t remember us sounding like that 🤣🤣🤣
Comment from : @larrysorenson4789

Why didn’t you add Sicilian as one of the romantic languages? That too evolved from Latin Yes close to Italian but never started as such It is a vernacular of Latin and not a dialect of Italian as many mistake
Comment from : @moceri55

when I grew up latin was a course you could study in high school it sounds like a mix of italian french and spanish
Comment from : @angusmackaskill3035

I had to take Latin in Catholic HS It’s a hard but really neat language
Comment from : @moceri55

500 years ago a prince from England and a princess from Spain even when they both could read Latin fluently Had a difficult time understanding each other when speaking Latin This was not a problem in ancient rome because Roman's were constantly movingbr around And not a problem today because of fast communication
Comment from : @arturovaldes546

I enjoyed this video immensely and found myself coming back to it over the years I studied Latin at school and have always been curious about the correct pronunciation of classical Latin
Comment from : @Dan_Ben_Michael

It still sounds like Latin 🙄

Except we only know what Latin sounded like officially This is how the emperor would have addressed the senate for example What we may never know is how commoners spoke

3 Second in and theres already an inaccuracy Rome fell in 1453, not 476
Comment from : @LeoTheI

Beautiful video! We never good really rid of the C as "K", but we pronounce it only when theres A or a O (CA or CO), or when we have a H (as in CHI or CHE)brbrLanguage is fun
Comment from : @odeca8121

Are there any guesses as to what North American English will sound like in the future?
Comment from : @HBADGERBRAD

Aha, caught you at the last "Caesar"! :D It was pronounced "Kaisar" in Latin ;)brbrThank you for the fun and informative video I've always wondered about how we know the pronunciations of such ancient languages
Comment from : @utube11235

Rome fell in 1453 Sure they spoke Greek and had Latin Names but they were Roman
Comment from : @Dogmeat1950

My high school teacher, Father E was a genius with Latin He taught us the ancient pronunciations Took two years of Latin I can't unlearn it
Comment from : @mtshasta6097

Aroumanian is a DIALECT of Roumanian In fact, there are 3 dialects (istro, megleno and aroumanian) at south of Danube, Dacoroumanian to the north
Comment from : @HociungmarianBlogspot

So if the V makes a sound like the letter W what sound does the letter W make?
Comment from : @SurfariFilms

Did the Romans export the V sound (was there a shift before they conquered or did many of the regional variants all shift the same way?)? Spanish and French for example, both have V instead of W sound for wine
Comment from : @OmarWannaHike

One thing that gives me agony is the way people try to reconstitute the language through the so-called "restored pronunciation" I'm sure that the most faithful approach to the Latin language is the one used in the Catholic church (Ecclesiastical Latin), which is basically Latin pronounced with the phonetics of the Italian language, and I really believe that if an ancient Roman heard the Pope pronounce Ecclesiastical Latin , he would be able to understand everything In no Latin language the letter V would be pronounced like U (or W, as it is pronounced in English, "oo") nor is the letter C pronounced like K, as it does in the "restored pronunciation" I would say that the classical Latin pronunciation would not be used by the Romans in their everyday life It was an artificially sophisticated form, like the "Queen's English" may sound today An ancient Roman did not speak to his family and friends as Cicero did, nor did he write as Ovidius wrote I really liked the video's approach Sorry for my bad English
Comment from : @EduardoRodrigues-it3rk

Well Latin was in constant use by the clergy, right? And I understand that it may have changed a bit but they were still reading the same scripts for last 2000 years so
Comment from : @MyIDIsNotAvailable

/r/ in Latin like /ร/ in Thai 😮
Comment from : @suttirodelertmanasaporn1364

I love your content!
Comment from : @Ian_BTurner

One sees the “paradox of the periphery” at work: linguistic praxis, like other customs (including fashions), tend to change closer to the point of dispersal, with changes slowing down or even stopping altogether in the hinterlands So you get older folk costume, such as one’s “Sunday best,” preserved in rural villages partly or fully in forms abandoned in a distant urban center, with examples being older in outlying areas If you want to know what women’s church-going costume was like in Stockholm in the 1820s, try looking at costume from the 1920s in, say, northern Ångermanland As language spreads you get a paradox: it’s “purer” in the peripheral areas in the sense of being closer to older forms At the same time, you have local influences preserved despite hegemonic macrocultural ones, sometimes resulting in a nearly untraceable mélange So Ångermanland folkdräkt may have some “local color,” and linguistically you get differences partly local and partly from the macrocultural “center”
Comment from : @jordansmith1b

The 'V' carved on the Roman monuments has always been a 'U' Thus, u+vowel would be the sound at the beginning of the misquoted Caesar Wouldn't sound as double-u-ishmore like a hybrid

Eastern Roman Empire: You take that back!
Comment from : @meekmeads

If you think about it, there's a reason that w is vv instead of uu And "multum" is always spelled like "mvltvm" My mom's Aunt Tillie (who was Lithuanian) used to say, "Eat your Wegetables!" The "vuh" sound (v), "uwh" sound (u), "yuh" sound (y), and "wuh" sound (w) are not that far off if you think about it It all goes back to the ancient Phoenecian "Y" or waw Which kind of sounded like "uwvh" All those noises All at once

HellobrbrI'm Greek brbrI did Latin at school many years ago and I must confess that we were reading /c/ always as a /k/, /qu+vowel/ as a /kv+vowel/, /g/ always as /g/ (never as j before /ae/, /e/, /i/) brbrFor examplebrbrCaesar as Kezar (long e);brQuoque as kvokvebrbrLatin helped me learn and understand better Portuguese, Spanish, French
Comment from : @steliopapakonstantinou674

Disliked the video: I expected to hear the sound of Latin, not the English Why not to read the same piece of Caesar's diary or Ovid?

I have the same obsession which is how latin turned out the become the romance languages
Comment from : @dinobravo852

Latin is a bunch of bullshit No wonder it's a dead language It is supposedly the basis for a group languages, and their people Music uses it to sound intelligent (especially anywhere in the classical world) I had an interest in learning Latin (when I was younger) and other bullshit that I won't name Math and the other sciences have Latin (somehow) uses in them

And there are different Latin loanwords in English too The Latin script is the most used writing system in the world So let's not be racist I have been learning Romanian for years now
Comment from : @josearellano203

Latin is not Greek Fortunately Latin is Latin That one alleges Latin is Greek, sadly and unfortunately didn't do their homework According to the allegation, sadly, unfortunately, the alleged was slammedsadly Latin
Comment from : @ChipsDim

There is no definite or indefinite article in Latin, so that rēx can mean "king", "a king", or "the king" according to context Why ? Like in Slavic languages no articles
Comment from : @user-xo6ul7qj8h

The English language:brbr1- It uses and depends on the Roman alphabet (in my opinion this is a fundamental reason for being a hybrid languagebr2-His vocabulary is 60 Latinbr3- Its grammar is 38 Latin (denying the legend that its grammar is 100 Germanic) Other sources state that it is 39 LatinbrbrTherefore, it is philologically impossible to consider the English language as a Germanic language English is really a hybrid
Comment from : @georgebaccett9951

Obviously your original teacher, Fr X, was unaware of what every Latin teacher should know, even at primary level: that there are two different Latins: Classical, and Church (medieval)brThe Vatican is fully aware of it, and so was my teacher when I was 13brWhen I recite classical quotes, I recite them in ancient (classical) Latin; and when I recite medieval quotes I use medieval LatinbrThank you for this video, which will correct many

No, Latin didn't have lax vowels: Andrea Calabrese and Luke Ranieri explained that

Comment from : @vexywexypoo

Didn’t the actual language survive for like forever? There were schools which taught latin in the medieval century in europe It was the language for intellectual people Sounds a bit easy but wasn’t the pronunciation passed on from generation to generation?
Comment from : @ludwigbeiss9829

I was taught classical latin, but I pronounce it like church latin You can only hear "veni vidi vichi" so many times before you just give in

Too much too fast
Comment from : @petrofilmeurope

I pronounced almost like an E reminds me of the Turkish I without the dot The I that is written with a dot even as capital letter is pronounced like we pronounce the I, and the Turkish language didn't adopt a Western alphabet until 1927 or so, when it replaced the Arabic alphabet in order to increase literacy
Comment from : @bundesautobahn7

I think your "short i" is cause you speak inglish Almost no English speakers can say I or E
Comment from : @fabiansw8

Latin saying, quid Latine altum videteur Translation: anything in Latin sounds profound
Comment from : @patrickmccarthy7877

If you pronounce "caesar" right, you can see where the german word "Kaiser" is coming from
Comment from : @HeinerZinkler

I read somewhere that Portuguese from Brazil, specifically, is the living language most similar to ancient Latin phonetically This is funny because in certan European countries, even in Spain, a lot of people confuse spoken Portuguese from Brazil with Russian!
Comment from : @chicobicalho5621

You can hear modern Latin in Italy! If not for the other Romance languages Italian would just be modern Latin, just like English today is simply the modern version of old English and not considered a new language
