Norbert, idealnie by było jakby jeszcze pojawiał się angielski odpowiednik zgadywanego słowa, tak dla rozwiania wątpliwośc.

Probably to do with the Norman influence, or French influence on modern English. Old English or even middle English doesn't transfer over very well. As languages branched off they kept some lone words but the pronunciation maybe different.

[@vincentloutkovnguyen1428]

@@alexgomez002 I have also never learned latin in class, I've mainly gotten an interest in it since I'm catholic and attend a latin Mass. The classical pronunciation is a pretty recent attempt of restoring latin to how the romans allegedly would have pronounced latin at around the time of Christ. It is very harsh and every letter is pronounced quite literally (lack of a better word). Most noticable differences in classical pronunciation: 1. All C's are pronounced as K's (so Vincent is pronounced as Vinkent) 2. All G's are hard (so all G's are pronounced like G in Golf) 3. V's are pronounced as W's There are of course many more differences. The Ecclesiastical pronunciation (i.e. church latin) is to my knowledge pretty much the latin pronounced in europe since at least the time of Charlemagne (ca 800s AD), as that is when latin 'officially' became another language from the vernacular languages. Though I think many of it's elements are much older (soft C's and G's etc which came around 300s or something)

This was incredibly interesting. I could understand quite a bit of it. I was surprised how many similarities I found with German, like "haben" is "habent" or "recht" is "recte" or "ist" is "est" or "schreiben" is "scribere". But I mostly understood it through my knowledge of French and English. I never learned any Latin. Maybe I should. Very fascinating. Bene.

[@Philoglossos]

Interestingly, 'haben/have' and 'habent' are unrelated words, and their resemblance is a complete coincidence. Recht/right and ist/is are cognates to recte and est via Proto Indo European. Meanwhile 'schreiben' is a loan word from Latin into Germanic languages which English missed out on.

Well, first both Latin and German are Indo-European, so similarities are expected (numbers 1-10, words for milk, mother, father, brother, sister sound recognizable in all Indo-European languages). Second, German borrowed some words from Latin directly, even very common ones (Das Fenster from "fenestra", native Germanic one would be Windauge, still retained in English).

The german latin teacher's pronounciation is nothing compared to what we heard in this video. Here it was pretty accurate, although the is controversial. Some say it's [v] and some say it's [w]. In Germany they read latin as if it's a german text. As a university standard. So awkward.

[@bumpsy]

@@afilanus7084 I see it like this: schools usually don't teach Latin for verbal communication. Professions with reading (and maybe writing) Latin far outweigh the ones where you have to be able to speak it properly (you can probably count them on one hand, although one can always come up with something new). Since schools mainly try to prepare for a wide range of professions for one's later life, spoken Latin isn't nearly as important as spoken English, Spanish or French (the three other languages my school taught besides Latin). But I also have to agree that phonetics is always part of a language, as dead or alive as it may be

I speak Italian. I've never studied other languages except English. Comprehension level: Spanish=70% Latin=70% Romanian=65% Portuguese (spoken)=50% Portuguese (written)=80% French (spoken)=2% French (written)=10% *Portuguese is interesting. I can read it and understand it very well. But the moment I "hear" it spoken, I'm lost. The pronunciation throws me off but spoken slowly I can grasp about 50%. French, forget about it.

I speak french and I never learned Italian. When it's spoken I understand 5 to 10% but written I can understand 40 to 70% depending on the subject (maybe because I know some spanish and latin?)

[@ScorpioMartianus]

bene!

[@MaSsiVeGaming1]

That is interesting. Maybe it depends on the Portuguese accent you most commonly hear. I'm in the same position as far as Italian goes. I can understand it well written. When spoken slowly I can mostly understand it, but when spoken fast I can't follow it that well.

Lo so succede anche a me, il portoghese sarà solo per me ma mi sembra più un dialetto russo che lingua latina

[@c.n.9579]

I am Italian and I don't understand Romanian at all! (maybe 10%), but I do understand French quite well. Brazilian portuguese is hard to understand (mainly for the pronunciation).

[@karineds]

I'm a portuguese speaker and I think the sound of Latin is similar to Italian. I understood Latin more than French. 😂

[@alternativaliguria]

Yes it is, with a few differences, such as the sound of "c" and "t" (he says "laetitia" which sounds wrong in italian, since it is "letizia", the "z" sounding like "ts")

[@Philoglossos]

@@giuseppescafuro8516 No, his pronunciation is not wrong, Luke uses the classical pronunciation of the first century BCE. You are used to the ecclesiastical pronunciation. :-)

[@Philoglossos]

@@alternativaliguria The 'ts' pronunciation appeared in the 3rd or 4th century CE but Luke is using the classical pronunciation of the 1st century BCE so this is why he pronounces it as it's written. Same with 'ae' - it was confused with 'e' later, but originally it was pronounced 'ae' as it is written.

[@7yep4336dfgvvh]

@@Philoglossos wasn't the 'ae' diphthong more like the 'ei' in German, in classical Latin i.e. 'kein' (Caesar - keizahr)?

[@jessicadiasdacr]

@@Philoglossos he didn't say IT IS wrong, he said that IN ITALIAN, IT SOUNDS wrong.

[@tilolovid2309]

Absolutely amazing! I am German and only had some French in school and some Spanish in university. And I think I understood 80% of it and could follow easily. Especially with the written texts. This was very interesting and I learned a lot.

[@geomax2010]

I'm Brazilian and I speak English and Italian. I understood 90% latin, 100% Italian, 100% Spanish! If you can learn Italian, then your Latin understanding will improve. Italiano non è dificile per noi brasiliani, tu devi studiare e veloce parlerai!

[@samjacobsen9256]

Native English speaker but I understand 100% of the Spanish, 90% of the Portuguese, 80% of the Italian, and 50% of the Latin. Hoping to become fluent in Portuguese soon and then in German at uni (I’m 17 years old and at secondary/high school in the USA)

[@user-it3xm4hm6s]

Latin:10%
