This is Vulgar Latin?

[latinguy2009]

@NiGhTpRoWlEr1011 No, this is strictly classical Latin. Vulgar latin uses a different set of morphology and grammatical rules (and vocabulary). Specifically-- one key idenfication between classical and vulgar Latin is the use of the neuter gender in classical Latin, whereas Vulgar Latin assimiliated neuter nouns into the masculine.

[NickBango10]

is the "classical" pronunciation what you would hear on the streets of Rome in 10AD? just wondering cause that is the version i am interested in learning.

[latinguy2009]

@NickBango10 Classical Latin refers to the language written and spoken by orators and those of power-- kind of like the "upmost and proper" Latin. What you would like to learn is known as Vulgar Latin (Vulgar meaning common). Hope this helps!

[latinguy2009]

at slide 1:00 you should add portuguese, the 6th most spoken language in the world (just a suggestion) - more speakers than french, romanian and italian actually.

@harry646464 In Latin, Julius was spelled Iulius. That is a capital i. It was pronounced yoo-lee-us. The letter i is used sometimes as a consonant (sounding much like our English y), sometimes as a vowel, and sometimes as both, depending on the surrounding letters. The letter J was invented to represent the consonant form of the letter i. Whenever we pronounce it joo-lee-us we are actually speaking with an English accent!

[skaterchick316]

We use ecce romani too

[skaterchick316]

I take Latin at school it's really fun

[gailad123]

I am so excited, I finally found a good Latin tutorial :)

[harry646464]

Question?

Since there is no J in latin why do we spell Julius Ceasar with a J ?

Thanks and i'm enjoying the course!

@8:11 isn't long A like the A in "ate", and the short A like the A in "apple"? aye vs ah.

[GKzGamerKing]

@latinguy2009 This is Ideal, I'm fluent Welsh and the pronunciation Is exactly like Welsh! you should look Welsh up
