Click 'more'. A Latin recitation, not at all focusing on the context of this text, but on accurate restaured classical pronunciation of Latin, of the centuries I B.C.E to I C.E - the times of the late Roman Republic and the early Roman Empire. I've studied Latin for just over one year, having mastered the basics of pronunciation and some grammar and some vocabulary, not much about the the latter.The transcript of the audio recording.[1] Cum divina tua mens et numen, imperator Caesar, imperio potiretur orbis terrarum invictaque virtute cunctis hostibus stratis triumpho victoriaque tua cives gloriarentur et gentes omnes subactae tuum spectarent nutum populusque Romanus et senatus liberatus timore amplissimis tuis cogitationibus consiliisque gubernaretur, non audebam, tantis occupationibus, de architectura scripta et magnis cogitationibus explicata edere, metuens, ne non apto tempore interpellans subirem tui animi offensionem. [2] Cum vero adtenderem te non solum de vita communi omnium curam publicaeque rei constitutionem habere sed etiam de opportunitate publicorum aedificiorum, ut civitas per te non solum provinciis esset aucta, verum etiam ut maiestas imperii publicorum aedificiorum egregias haberet auctoritates, non putavi praetermittendum, quin primo quoque tempore de his rebus ea tibi ederem, ideo quod primum parenti tuo de eo fueram notus et eius virtutis studiosus. Cum autem concilium caelestium in sedibus immortalitatis eum dedicavisset et imperium parentis in tuam potestatem transtulisset, idem studium meum in eius memoria permanens in te contulit favorem.

Dec 2, 2008 - "Only the pronunciation of Italian, though. Many aspects of Latin are the same, in terms of pronunciation, like in Latin."I noticed it, that´s why I asked, I was not sure if you spoke it like that because you are a native italian speaker or it was meant to be this way.this thing with u/v/w i found always interesting because I´m german/slavic mixedand the germans use w where slaves and english use v, and I often wondered about the usage of u/v in latin inscriptions and engravings before

Dec 2, 2008 - btw in german language we know "ei", "ai", "eye" "ay" for an english spelled "eye", for instance the name Meier, exists as well written as Mair, Maier, Meyer, Mayr and as Mayer and is always spelled the same, but I agree with you the "ei" should be the newest way to write it...

Dec 2, 2008 - The w was used by Germans when all Germanic people had the W sound (like in the word to win). The symbol's use was and is different in different languages. The Slavs used and use it always as a v. English is the only language that retains the Proto-Indoeuropean w sound. If something were different, we would be writing like this : ai aem goving to rait sam inglish tv yv, bai yvzing a viird alphabet, wail pronavnsing laik aen Aemerikan, but that is reserved for prarllel realities LOL.

Dec 2, 2008 - Absolutely fascinating! Multus bene! Wow. I'm floored, really. Sounds like several of the Romance tongues rolled into one (which is sort of accurate in a backhanded sort of way.)
MaBu888 Says:
Dec 2, 2008 - I actually was almost shaking my voice because of all the attention, in an empty, silent room... hwoever, it seems to have been a success. I agree about Romance languages being rolled into this - italian R and vowels and some consonants, Hispanic ability to pronounce final consonants without resorting to unwanted schwa sounds, Portugueic ability to render vowels preceding the final m as nasalized consonants that use the 'm' as an assimilator and an 'elisionator' and synaloephe. Cũn diiuiina...

Dec 2, 2008 - awesome
MaBu888 Says:
Dec 2, 2008 - Thank you. I think Latin is awesome, especially if it is read out lod and read out lod well. I don't think I'm far of as an ancient Roman, but maybe I'm too optimistic.

Dec 2, 2008 - Dude, why don't you just empty your own wrists to Beethoven's Moonlight Sonata? That would have been far more entertaining than THIS....
fasterthnur Says:
Dec 2, 2008 - I think if ancient Romans had had to listen to this tripe they would have dipped into the forgotten dustbin of history far sooner.

Dec 2, 2008 - Italian c is pronounced in two ways - after a, o, u it's like k, but after e and i it's a fricative like ch in the word cheese. However, the way English speakers pronounce Latin on first try would be something that came through French from medieval Latin (pronounced like Spanish and Italian), and the c is done like the French do it - a o u - -k; e i - s. To put it shortly, English is a creole language it has been influenced by French(loanwords from many dialects), Norwegian, but is Germanic.
