| Artes Latinae Pronunciations
Designed by Dr. Jeffrey Lyon, based on Dr. Waldo Sweet's original,
the CD-ROM version incorporates text, graphics and sound into a computer
accessible format. At the click of an icon, students can choose one
of three pronunciations: Dr. Waldo Sweet's original; Dr. Robert Sonkowsky
and Dr. Barbara Sonkowsky using the Restored Classical; and Nancy
Llewellyn and Dr. Clarence Miller using the Continental Ecclesiastical.
- American Scholastic. Waldo E. Sweet's original
cassette recordings have been digitized for the CD-ROM format.
- Restored
Classical. Our most current evidence points
to the Restored Classical pronunciation as the most accurate sound
of classical Latin. This pronunciation is distinguished by the
nasalization of a word's final vowel when it is followed by
"m." Restored Classical is the default pronunciation
for Artes Latinae.
- Continental
Ecclesiastical. This pronunciation is commonly
encountered in liturgy, music lyrics, and Medieval and Neo-Latin.
