pronouncing letter Z
Posted: Tue Dec 26, 2006 1:19 pm
hi everybody!!!
if my english seems to be rough, excuse me, it is.
my question
in the phonetics guide of this book there is written that ZETA is pronounced like ZD in Ahura-MaZDa
but, i'm sorry, is that TRUE?
as i think now, it is not!!!!
is that situation common in english tradition of pronouncing AncientGreeek? or, may be, contemporary people do not pronounce this letter so?
lo que pasa es que in our (soviet and russian) books and grammars ZETA
is pronounced DZ
it is logically: p+s is psi. k+s is ksi and t+s must be TS
i hope nobody considers my words an insult
