   Just wondering about proper pronunciation of Latin numerals. Is “c” pronounced as “ch”? Is “g” pronounced as in “giant” or as in “golf”? Thanks to anyone who can advise me.

   Classical Latin: C is actually pronounced K

   Classical Latin: G is pronounced as g in golf

   Ecclesiastical Latin: C is pronounced as CH

   Ecclesiastical Latin: G is pronounced DZ as in giant

   How can it be asserted that the correct pronunciation for Classical Latin can be defined? The original speakers didn’t exactly leave audio records, did they? I remember poor old ‘Chips’ (“Goodbye Mr Chips”) lamenting (as a teacher of boys) a directive on pronunciation which turned the Latin word vicissim from ‘veechissim’ into ‘we kissim’. I can’t help slipping into a sort of Italian pronunciation – which it sounds as if the Ecclesiastical pronunciation (I’ve not heard it) might be closer to.

   It is a pleasure to have such a variety of Latin words on my computer to learn or relearn as a daily diversion!

    No,they didn’t leave audio records, but we can know how Latin was pronounced in ancient times several ways:

    1. The Romans themselves wrote a lot about their language and how to pronounce it “correctly.” Public speaking was a high art and many rhetorical ‘handbooks’ about how to speak and how to pronounce words, survive.

    2. The Roman empire was bi-lingual. Latin speakers in the west needed to learn Greek, Greek speakers in the east needed to learn Latin. Many instructional works still exist.

    3. Errors and misspellings often reveal how a word was pronounced in everyday life – “habio” for “I have” rather than the correct “habeo.”

    4. Transliteration to other languages and alphabets like Greek or Hebrew can reveal pronunciation. When Greeks spelled “Cicero” they could have used either Kappa or Sigma. They used Kappa, which means they pronounced it as “Kikero.”
