Classical Latin had a hard 'k' sound for c and the ae dipthong sounded like "eye", so I guess Cicero really is said like that
>>2311345
> kaiser
> not czar
>Virgil/Vergilius
>Ware-gilley-us
>Vespasian
>Wess-posse-on-us
JUST
Latin pronunciation was a mistake
anglos pendejos
Gaius Julius Caesar = GAIVS IVLIVS CAESAR in Classical Latin orthography
Pronounced GAH-yoos YOO-lyoos KAH-EH-sar
>>2311387
Caius not Gaius, it would be CAIVS

Latin has changed significantly over the millennia but these are the correct pronunciations for the end of the Republic and early Empire

This genuinely bothers me. Why did English and French see the need to change these people's names? My native Dutch didn't. We still say Vergilius, Vespasianus, Priamos, Odysseus, etc. I mean, when John goes to France people don't start calling him Jean.

I refuse to believe this. You're telling me all the Romance-speaking peoples got it wrong, but Germanic "scholars" got it right?
Fuck right off.

Wow, another nationalistic pleb who has no idea what he's talking about.

>actually how these words were said in classical latin
it disgusts me when anglos try to speak latin
The problem is English.
Contrary to most European languages, English was subject to a very big vowel shift - and relatively late, too.
Feels good almost not having to learn any Latin pronounciation because my language is pronounced almost the same.

I read an anecdote once that when a 17th century French ambassador was visiting the Hungarian royal court and delivered a speech in his Latin. His pronunciation was so different from what the Hungarians were used to they couldn't understand him and thought he was speaking French.
>>2311345
So the Romans were Germans? Because their pronunciation is literally how Germans would naturally intonate Latin vocabulary.
lmao those retarded Englishmen
>>2312287
Don't know about other Romance countries but in Italian 'Caesar', spelt as it is, would be pronounced as 'Kaesar', it's just that we have an Italianized name for him, Cesare.

Are we gonna do the whole classical latin circle jerk or actually follow the thread concept which i thought was pretty interesting

The last public guillotining in France took place in the 1970s. You can find video of it on Youtube
>>2311387
Honestly, when you write it out like this, it's pretty easy to see how Latin can be descended from alieness of PIE.
>>2311345
>>caesar is pronounced kaisar
False
>>2313796
But that's how it was pronounced at the time, Latin has been bastardised repeatedly since then
