Excerpt from Latin Pronunciation
Enough has been said to prove how empty are the claims of those who maintain that they have recovered, in all its particulars, the exact pronunciation of the ancient Romans. Approximate accuracy is the most that we can ever hope to attain.
But there are certain peculiar considerations in regard to the Latin that do much to facilitate the problem of its pronunciation.
