oh yes, I love that one! I hardly ever listen to it though since it's so far over my head... someday I will be able to understand!

I think that site is really cool. I love listening to the sound of Latin, even if I don't understand all of what is said.

Oh no, not greece... Sorry emma, but their modern pronunciation of ancient Greek is going to sound very unfamiliar and strange to most people who study anceint greek outside of greece. You know those "baba" sheep people who insist on pronouncing beta with a B sound. Why can't these greeks fess up to their self denial?

m and p are quite similar indeed, in that they are both labial.1%homeless wrote: A mu and a pi? I wonder how that came about.
m induces the vibration of vocal chord and makes p a vocal, to say, b.
Similarly D sound is written ντ, and hard G is written γκ(γ before κ is sounded ng)
If you are a Tolkien fan, see how the tengwars for Quenya mp() and nd() are used for b and d, respectively in the Beleriandic mode.
