it's noticed that some people pronounce such letters in different ways!
The Q: what is the correct way to pronounce these letters?
ch = k + breath energetically expressed
th = t + breath energetically expressed
ph = p + breath energetically expressed
eu = e + u vel short ey + short oo merging together
Ph, th, ch are aspirated consonants in ancient Greek and Latin, pʰ tʰ kʰ phonetically (IPA). Obviously, there must have been variation. (I personally like "th" as in English "the").
It's simply an "e" plus a "u" merging together as in any other diphthong.

Verbum wrote:...How do you pronounce the "th" in this name: Etherius? like a "t" or a soft z like in "the"?
and this in: Neophyte. the ph is p or v? [you mean f, I think]
...Aevo antiquo
excuse me, Do you say it W or V ?
