i would like to point out, that in some cases the roman had foreign words from the etruscian in their language, like the most famous word, populus and these words kinda destroy most vocal theories. the differences of spelling of the vocals in lating and our expectation of latin could be simply mixed in actual use and thereby random. like the use of verdura or verdure. Sg/Pl, but most italians would use both variants in the same sentence. italian ci/ce gi/ge sounds could be from the normal latin or just an italian intonation of the actual senat-principates latin. we dont have clear gramatical rules for the major population and the italian is quite transformed for the ear. (adding h, if the gi/ci rules wont work in konjugations etc.) i liked the idea, that the populus of roma spoke with amodern romanic dialect of latin, while the patrician language of the senat remained to be more semi-greek and etruscian for old times sake. they had to learn greek as rich patrician with education. they would use these terms and it would have influenced their practial use of laguage.

At least with Latin they gave it a decent try, unlike what they did with for ancient Egyptian rulers for example that speak in Arabic. Even modern Coptic would be more accurate, cause at least that's a descendant of the ancient Egyptian language.

In fact a little bit of aspiration on this is tolerable since later on these consonants became ç or tç by means of an intermediary step (probably an aspiration). I believe this was akin to "ae" pronounced "e" by some speakers. I would be fine with that, moreso than the overall Italian accent. But then again, I might be biased, being Romanian.

When I was a senior in High School taking AP Latin, Civ 5 was pretty much the only form of spoken Classical Latin "input" that existed at the time (besides Passion of the Christ). Now you are providing an abundance of spoken Latin input and it's awesome!

Thanks so much! Yeah it's a crazy new world we live in.

In the family that is the romance language, Romanian is like that baby that got kidnapped and everyone thought was dead

It's very astounding that I, as a German, didn't knew about the aspirated consonants until some time ago. It's definitely not part of school's curriculum. It's just something you naturally learn as a kid, but are not aware of in any way.

Thank you for mentioning Romanian. We studied Latin in highschool, although I believe we followed the Ecclesiastical pronounciation as opposed to Classical. Our teacher was (still is) very intelligent and held the language in high regard, but us kids just couldn't find the motivation to study a dead language. Regardless, we speakers of Romance languages definitely have an unfair advantage over the rest when it comes to pronunciation! ;)

Being italian is amazing how many stresses I get right simply because most of the time the stress falls in the same syllable as in Italian therefore it sounds very natural to me

The voice actor is doing a quite decent job, but that "Th" is there, although it is not as strong as you can unfortunately hear in many opera singers that murder the italian opera pronunciation (how many times you can hear "Venthhhhhho" instead of "Vento").

Although it might be a short video, perhaps you could review the latin mottos from the modern XCOM series. I'm very rusty with my latin, which I studied during my law studies, but I'm fairly certain they are wrong somehow (like "Vigilo. Confido." Great work and amazing videos, by the way.

Even though my latin professor in the university didn't teach us how to accentuate, i think the rules are quite intuitively for a Spanish speaker. Habeas is a very common word i've always heard bc "habeas corpus" being an legal term in Spanish and i've noticed that lawyers tried to accentuate their fancy terminology well

You should definitely do the civ6 versions, since I hear in general their languages across the board are more accurate.

for a game franchise thats supposed to be all about history, it does get alot of details wrong im glad someone finally put this question to rest for me as i long had suspicions that they got quite a lot of stuff wrong after i noticed some wrong things in a department closer to my expertise

"Non potes esse gravis!" I'd guess it was supposed to be "You can't be serious", and they just looked up 'serious' in an English-Latin dictionary and saw gravis (i.e. grave or serious situation)
