[@saintburnsy2468]

7:31 This situation with Latin & the Romance languages is surprisingly similar to that of (Classical) Arabic and the modern Arabic dialects! Classical Arabic was but one, prestigious dialect amongst many; the various modern dialects evolved not just from Classical Arabic but from the other ancient dialects as well. Yet, all still developed with significant superstrate influence from the Classical language. (Not to mention considerable non-Arabic substrate influences, a primary causal factor behind the incredible variation between the modern dialects). Modern Standard Arabic- the educated speech of today- is an interesting case. It's composed of a subset of the Classical language, with some simplified grammar and less variation in the syntax, but supplemented with a modernized vocabulary. It's possible to understand a good bit of Classical Arabic with a firm grasp of Modern Standard, but the unique structures and grammar that you find in Classical can provide a large obstacle to understanding if you haven't specifically prepared for it. Also the altered senses of some ancient words in Modern Standard can create some confusion. Example: one word in Modern Standard for 'phone', هاتف hātif, is from a Classical word which means "caller", with a very specific sort of esoteric meaning, something like "one who calls (from a spiritual realm)". You find it mostly in old Islamic & philosophical texts. This old, rare usage of the word was repurposed & expanded in Modern Standard. And there are many words like this.

[@javidg96]

As someone with a personal interest in etymology, reading these lines is extremely stimulating! For example: Latin "Dōnā mē" survives in Spanish with a narrowed meaning, as in English "to donate". Spanish "Dóname" = "Donate to me". But, in Catalan, "Dona'm" means the same as in Latin, "give me". Also, Latin "Fastidia" (Spanish "Fastidio", "Hastío"), comes from "Fastus" (disdain) + "Taedium". In Spanish, Portuguese and Italian not only does "Tedium" exist as "Tedio" but so does "Fastus" in the form "Nefasto" (nefarious, terrible), from "Ne" + "Fastus" (not allowed).

[@PC_Simo]

0:28 Every time, when that intro chord chimes, I’m just expecting to hear: _«Союз нерушимый республик свободных…»_ 😅.

Exactly what I came looking for after watching the show, and youtube of course delivers. Gratias, Luke!

[@danielconde13]

About Rome, quotes and treasons, we do use a quote from a Roman leader used during the conquest of Hispania to this day here in Portugal. History goes that Lusitanian chieftan Viriato was being a thorn on Rome's side, until three of his companions reached the Romans proposing to kill him during his sleep. The Romans agreed, the deed was done, and when the three men went back to the Romans asking for a reward, that Roman leader simply replied "Rome does not pay traitors!". So, you can still hear in Portugal the say " _Roma não paga a traidores!_ ".

[@bazcuda]

Great video. I've watched all three so far. I hope you'll continue with the other episodes. It's all very interesting and informative. p.s. the new font in this video is horrible to read, imo 😉

[@PC_Simo]

16:57 I think the reason for that apparent violation of the ”Penultimate Stress Rule”, is that (at least, in words, like: ”Admodum”) the 3rd to last (in this case, also the 1st) syllable: ”Ad” is, originally, a preposition that’s been incorporated into the main word; and thus, it’s inclitic, in nature; and thus, it wouldn’t, normally, be stressed. This probably threw people off.

[@polyMATHY_Luke]

There is exactly evidence that some ancients said admódum, though ádmodum seems to have been preferred. We might compare it to how people choose to accent “participle” or “romance.”

[@PC_Simo]

⁠@@polyMATHY_Luke Yes. I mean, if we already established that the character Metellus is originally from a rural area, maybe even the province, farther away from the Capital; it would make sense that the people he grew up with, who were probably less educated, and also (as you mentioned) had more archaic features, in their speech, anyways; would pronounce words, like: ”Admodum”, as if it still was 2 separate words, with the ”Ad”, as an inclitic preposition: ”Ad Modum”; and this would have rubbed off on Metellus, too. 🤔

[@PC_Simo]

@@polyMATHY_Luke Also, just to be clear; by ”Admódum” being more archaic, I mean: ”Initially” / ”The 1st time around”; similarly to, how words, like: ”Mium” and: ”Voster” made a (probably unrelated) comeback. Thus, they were more archaic, but fell out of fashion, in Classical urban Latin; but ended up reemerging and replacing ”Meum” and ”Vester”.

[@AndreiIorgulescu]

I was wondering when that Easter egg was coming. You didn't disappoint. :D Fascinating again. Although I don't get much of the Latin spoken or written, it's cool to see here and there the transitions that took place to Romanian, Italian, French et cetera. Quick question, is "mihi" possessive or reflexive? Google translate seems to indicate reflexive, but it doesn't make sense for my romanian ears, especially since it sounds so close to "mie" in romanian or even "mir" in German, which are both possessive and almost always in the dative case. Cheers!

[@polyMATHY_Luke]

Salut, Andrei! Mihi/mī is the dative case of "ego" 😊 One of the Romanian equivalents is "mie" as in "mi-e dor de tine"

[@AndreiIorgulescu]

@@polyMATHY_Luke mulțumesc pentru răspuns! So my gut was right. This will certainly boost my "ego". :D

[@ligetimarci]

I'm learning a lot from these so I've been looking forward to episode 3, grātiās! I also found the soft "c" video interesting and would love to know how the Central European ecclesiastic pronunciation "ts" came to be. Is it perhaps derived from some intermediate semi-palatalized form?

[@polyMATHY_Luke]

That seems to be the case, yes

[@ligetimarci]

@@polyMATHY_Luke Fascinating! Keep up the great content :)

[@moritzm6470]

Medieval German only had one sibilant affricate, /ts/, and speakers would surely have substituted that for foreign /tʃ/, /tɕ/ or whatever similar sound. So I don't think we can tell much from that about the pronunciation of soft "c" by Romance speakers at the time. Slavic speaker could have made a better distinction, but their traditional Latin pronunciations seem to be based on the German model.

[@ligetimarci]

@@moritzm6470 That sounds very plausible. Indeed, it was mainly German missionaries that spread Christianity to Western Slavic (and my native Uralic) speaking countries; I do wonder if Catholic South Slavs had a greater Italic influence and hence a palatalized pronunciation.

[@toade1583]

I think it's two sources, the High German consonant vowel shift that would have turned a palatalized "t" sound into a "ts" sound and the fact that early Romance(Old Spanish and particularly Old French, which set the old standard of Ecclesiastical pronunciation) pronounced c before i and e as a "ts" and then softened it to a "s". Old French Latin speakers brought this feature into their from of ecclesiastical Latin.

[@nicefarmscreamery6945]

Did you do Episode IV? Really enjoying your content!

[@davidm1673]

Something like this anticipation (assimilation) of imminent sounds, as in the "mihi/miwi" example at the beginning of this video, is actually so common, it was the cause of the formation of the German Umlaute and contributed to the old continental German language(s) phonetically diverging from English. It´s not just your tongue occasionally slipping, Luke ;)

The Late Latin "comedere" (to eat) is present in Italian in words such as "commestibile" (En. 'eatable') and the French "comestible". Instead .. about the word for table, the situation is more complex, in Italian we have just something close to the Spanish in words such as "mensa" (table for eating) and "commensale" both coming from the Latin "mensa".

@@TheZenytram : yes, same language, spoken Latin, different words chosen in different romance areas. In Italy and France: the Latin verb "Manducare" is the basis for the Italian "Mangiare" and the French "Manger", instead in the Peninsula Iberica the Latin verb chosen is "Comedere". Something similar may be said for "Table", Latin "Tabula", Italian "Tavola", French "Table", while in the Peninsula prevails the word "Mensa". We all speak the spoken Latin of the XXI century!

Over a year late but I like re-watching these videos... At the 19:47 mark or thereabouts, when he says 'agedum, cōnfice!' - I can't help wondering if it was a typo or something in the actual script because he'd be saying it perfectly if the script had read 'agēdum'. Just a thought!!

Would they be saying mars or martius? I know that rome had the campus martius where people trained, so are both used? Mars and martius?

Mārs is the god, and Mārtius is the adjective of things having to do with Mars. 😊
