Too bad its sung in "German" Latin, pronouncing coelum as tselum, pacem as patsem etc. it should be either in Classical Latin (koelum) or in Italian Latin (tSélum)

I think it doesn't matter whether it's german or classical latin. I mean there is also a British English/ an American English/and an Australian English (hard to understand for me^^) If you guys insist to use ciceros' latin then feel free to do so, but we shouldn't surpress other latin pronunciations. I mean even if it's german latin it is still latin. A natural developement.^^

@elton1981 well you do have a point... Latin is an almost living language and many countries do have their own local traditional pronunciation... here in Brazil they would pronounce caelum /'sɛlũ/

@linghun I think regional accents in Latin should be allowed. We cope with it in living languages to a large extent.
As an aside I've been told by Roman Catholics, that I speak Latin with an Anglican accent, whatever that means lol

Yea, Europa est E-U-ROPA not Oiropa.

non Airopa, sed Europa latine pronuntiare debet
Shouldn't the title be: 'Hymnus Latinus Unionis Europæ'?

@ProductofWit "Europææ" is the genitive of the feminine adjective of "Europæus" = European, so "Unionis Europææ" means "of the European Union"; whilst "Europæ" is the genitive of the noun "Europa" = Europe, "Unionis Europæ" would mean "of the Union of Europe" :) That's all!
