Adeste Fideles (traditional Latin)

[1laradt1]

Somehow I like amateur videos like that.... sometimes more "heart" in it than in professional ones... :)

Adeste, fideles, laeti, triumphantes, Venite, venite in Bethlehem:

Natum videte Regem Angelorum: Venite adoremus, venite adoremus

Venite adoremus Dominum.

En grege relicto, humiles ad cunas, vocatis pastores approperant.

Et nos ovanti gradu festinemus. Venite adoremus, venite adoremus

Venite adoremus Dominum.

Aeterni Parentis splendorem aeternum, Velatum sub carne videbimus

Delum Infantem, pannis involutum. Venite adoremus, venite adoremus

Venite adoremus Dominum.

I think I heard her sing the "laeti" as ['læti:]. That's not "traditional" Latin, it's medieval and ecclesiastic ;)

"Traditional" (Ancient) Latin would be ['laiti:] ;-p

@SteinbrecherBack

Julius Caesar told you? How else would you know what was the ancient pronunciation?

[SteinbrecherBack]

@darthjaag By the works of many linguists, including vowel shift pattern analysis, basic forms of loan words in other languages (for example German "Kaiser" from Latin "Caesar" ['kaisar]) and documents containing Latin words or texts that were written in other scripts, such as Greek, Punic or Persian inscriptions / scrolls.

For beginners, I can recommend "Vox Latina - A guide to the pronunciation of classical Latin" by William Sidney Allen, 2. ed. Cmabridge Univ. Press 1978.

@darthjaag Don't act as if you were educated in that respect, because apparently you aren't.
