Shout Out to the Guy who went Back in time to record this For us
The science of Linguistics is more advanced than some people think!
That’s not what Latin sounded like to the Romans. The “V” sound would’ve sounded like a modern English speaker’s “W” and they never had the “ch” sound when c is next to a vowel as the “c” sound was hard like a “k”. There’s a lot more wrong but that sounds like ecclesiastical Latin rather than classical Latin
It depends on the pronunciation there are two types of latin pronunciation the classic one and the latin for German-English speakers
@@giaci22bs There’s 2 major pronunciation schemes, you are correct. There is:
Classical Latin; which is what the Romans would’ve spoken. It’s extremely well defined and documented for international use. It was reconstructed from historical sources and linguistic research. You can find the vowel and consonant sounds on wikipedia and most other reputable websites to do with linguistics (en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Latin#Phonology). This is the form of Latin that should’ve been used in this video as this is what the video was addressing but wasn’t present here.
Ecclesiastical Latin which is the modern Latin used by the Catholic church which is what this video was using. This however would’ve been alien to the ears of the Romans. Almost as alien as dutch (this comparison probably would’ve been more accurate if I used Frisian) is to modern English speakers. This is also well documented and is probably the most commonly used pronunciation scheme for Latin today. You can read about it here: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ecclesiastical_Latin
@@Zephyr4900 uh.... Thanks I guess? Btw I'm now studing latin
He said: "I was hungry and was going to buy a burger as I had a coupon for a free McDonald's, but I found out that it was too early."

Yea it does sound beautiful, but how do we know they had an Italian accent?
It sounds more rumenian than italian
Sounds French to me 😂
Well we don't know about the "accent", but it does sound a bit like Italian to an extent, because Italian descended from Latin, and still retains some similarity to Latin.
Furthermore, ancient grammarians left multiple guides on how words are supposed to be pronounced (they complained a lot as well on how the youths and the uneducated wee "ruining latin with their inexact pronunciations). This, added with comparative techniques and the fact that languages tends to evolve in a predictable manner, allows Classical Latin to be reconstructed.
The Vatican also retains the use of latin, albeit not exactly the classical one (it's called "traditional italian pronunciation", or "ecclesiastical latin"), which differs mainly in how some words are pronounced (though not by far), though grammatically the classical and the ecclesiastical are identical as far as I know.
Certainly not like English/German/French...
That sounded like german accent to me.
Anyways, overall Italian is among the most close to Latin among romance languages.
this is not perfect latin pronunciation
even time of Justinian the Great Latin language is predominant
At least in the west yes
But in the East Greek was dominant
Even Justinian a native latin speaker wrote in his Nearai that “We make these laws in the common language so anyone can understand”
I’m learning now Latin ❤❤❤
It sounds beautiful
He actually speaks Ecclesiastic Latin, not Classic.
sounds like French+Italian+Germanic
Love the epic music
It didnt sound actually like that: in this demonstration v isn't pronounced like an u as it would be pronounced in the classical period. Moreover c with vowels is pronounced z. For example the person who was speaking latin said benefizia while it was actually pronounced benefīchia
Its a pity always finding video taking for true this demonstration because actually to a latin speaker it would have sounded really wrong.
If you wanna see a really good pronunciation of Classical Latin go check out some of metatron’s videos on the language.
Grandeeeee roma la piubella
Wow they sound so badass🥶
Not to be the um actually guy but Latin and Greek were both main languages of the Romans especially after the Empire was established as exemplified best by Marcus Aurelius
Pronunciation is wrong for classical Latin
Thats Ecclesiastical Latin(church latin) the V's sounded like W's in classical latin. there more I could say by you get my point this latin is closer to italian. The romans left a lot of info on how their language sounded.
Where my Mexicans at that swear they are Latin
Que onda
This is the language of my ancestors, who knows what impression the ancient Romans would have of what the West has become.
Female voice please.... ♥️🌹
WELL DONE !
It's unbelievable how much misinformation in this short video... you shold not publish contents on subjects that you don't know

Iva gli antichi romani
Sound like elvish

Why latinos Don't speak latin language? And they not from Roman race? Just asking for curiosity 🤔🤔
latinos do not speak latin but they do speak a language that comes from latin
it is a term to designate the populations of latin america
and latin america was called this way because it was colonized by the peoples of europe speaking a language derived from latin (spanish, portuguese,..)
the concept was put in place to oppose North America which was Anglo-Saxon and Protestant to that of the South, Catholic, Latin and culturally close to France.
For your second question, it's more complicated.
the "Roman Race" is more a social construct than an ethnic group
at the very beginning the term "Roman" only meant people from Latium (Italian region)
then it spread to the whole of Italy and then generalized to the whole empire (212 AD)
the 5th century marks the end of the western empire
the Germanic peoples end up taking control of it
the Franks in France, the Visigoths in Spain, the Ostrogoths in Italy and what we notice in their writings is that these Germanic peoples whether in Spain, France or Italy called the local population "the Romans"
and these populations wanted to keep their "Romanity" but being governed by Germans
it ended up changing over time
they were called "the Latins" (Italy, France, Spain,..) still in a "Roman" sense
going back to Latinos,
the genetic analyzes carried out on South America show that in general
modern populations are a mixture between Europeans (mainly the Iberian Peninsula), Africans and Native Americans
Latinos therefore have links with populations that were culturally Roman and considered themselves Roman for centuries
but who were no longer called that way when they arrived in America in the 15th century
so to answer the question: yes, they have a link with the Romans but it depends on your vision of things
I hope I have answered your questions
N.B: it's already quite long but I was synthetic for the term "Roman"
the Eastern Roman Empire continued to exist for a millennium and they considered themselves the "true" Romans (in the same sense as I explained above because the emperors were generally of Greek/Balkan origin) and that the western lands had been usurped from them and used the term "Latin" in a negative and religious way and not in a sense of Romanity
@@ArsinoeVI Thank you you explained the whole clearly i was so curious about the history of other countries
@@YourParentsBiggestMistakeit came from the need the different nations of Roman Empire to communicate. So a lingua franca, a common language let's say created! And that born the Romans languages( Italian, French etc)
Also Greek used as lingua franca but we speak Greek until now! (I am Greek)
I mean there are no languages that created by Greek, is the same language with changes.
@@sgourkon8742 So latinos have roman races?
Technically we speak
Spanish and Portuguese are product of vulgar latin (Latin spoken by normal people in the streets) in iberian kingdoms, same with french, Italian and Romanian
So if you think about it🤔
technically Latinos just speak Latin with heavy accents
Not so good...
Greek was the universal language during the Roman Empire . In fact during an excavation of a Roman library in Italy, most of the books deciphered through hi-tech scanning are written in Greek.
hmmmmm
Sounds like French
Spanish
Latin is a dead language. No one can say yea or nay this is how it sounded
Although it is a dead language we are still 99.9% certain this is what it sounded like because of several factors a few being 1. people who lived in that time would write about how Latin sounded 2. We have several languages today like Spanish, Italian, Romanian and so on that stem from Latin and kind of give us an idea 3. We have the Catholic Church that kept speaking Latin after the fall of Rome up until today although they speak in the Ecclesiastical dialect. If you really want to know how we know what Latin sounded like I would encourage you to see what other people online have to say about it that are more educated on the matter than I am.
By comparing Romanian, Spanish, Italian, etc. along with ancient texts, linguists can "piece together" the puzzle, just as genetic scientists can "piece together" Neanderthal DNA.
@@joseph3225 Yes, we do know how it sounded as well as any language spoken today, but we know for a fact this is not it. If he was going for an authentic pronunciation, he completely butchered it, and whoever made this video doesn't know the first thing about Latin phonology.
@@user-un7gp4bl2l Yeah it sounds like the guy in the video is using the Ecclesiastical dialect.
All I heard was Creole
Creole those sellout Hispanics lol
Wrong latin language( which was a modernized version of an aeolic peasantry spoken language of some greeks in minor asia was written first by cicero back in the 150 B.C and he was laughing his ass of from some romans politicians who were trying to make rhetoric statements in senate. He was flattered by their effort but he suggested them to stop this annoying trend as it was not Romans original language.. the Common language of the Romans was the hellenic. The latin became a norm after their absorbed the lation population in Italy and it was spread in the west part of roman empire while the original Romans kept the hellenic for themselfs to communicate with the rest of the "Ethneke"= The one nation(referring to GrecoRomans in Italy mainland greece,anatolia,syria,palestine,istrael etc) as it was described in new statement. A great proof of this is the letter of saint paul "to Romans" written in koine Greek so the common folks in Rome could understand.
