FLavius Valerius Constantinus Posted December 29, 2005 Report Share Posted December 29, 2005 (edited) link to Nuntii Latini this one is by a Finnish Radio Group Well for those that really want to learn, this is a site where the news is in Latin. Look for the link Recitatio and in your Real player, the news would is said in Latin, quite cool. So far, I'm able to understand like 70%+ of it when listening and reading it. You should look at the forum they have, all the conversation is in Latin, though its not complicated once you get use to writing in Latin. IT all matters about your knowledge of vocabulary. Another site This one is the same as Nuntii Latini but a little dif, but its by a German Radio Group. Note: the news may seem a little old and mostly about Europa. I prefer Nuntii Latii because they pronounce the words so much more clearly and better.

Viggen Posted December 30, 2005 Report Share Posted December 30, 2005 Those are two fine links Flavius, funny enough i prefer the german one, probably because the accent is closer to my heart cheers viggen Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tobias Posted December 31, 2005 Report Share Posted December 31, 2005 That's very interesting Flavius Valerius Constantinus. I wouldn't mind hearing such things, because (don't laugh) i've never actually heard someone speaking latin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Silentium Posted December 31, 2005 Report Share Posted December 31, 2005 (edited) what a strange pronunciation =) it's nice to see that someone bothers to keep latin "alive". I remember Totus tuus had something like this..maybe not..my memory's clearly gone out for a walk lol Edited January 2, 2006 by Silentium Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Viggen Posted December 31, 2005 Report Share Posted December 31, 2005 what a strange pronounciation =) hehe, i assume that was also the same situation 2000 years ago, someone in Italica had probably a different accent then a roman citizen in Eborum or Virunum. I assume it was a similar set up like todays german, everyone learns and reads "High German" but if the locals (Vienna, Munich, Berlin etc..) speak to each other an "outsider" has difficulties to follow, but the moment they switch to high german everyone understands... (could be completely wrong though hehe) cheers, viggen Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Silentium Posted January 2, 2006 Report Share Posted January 2, 2006 ooops..I just realised I misspelled the word "pronunciation" on the previous post..lol. *quickly clicks on edit* what a strange pronounciation =) hehe, i assume that was also the same situation 2000 years ago, someone in Italica had probably a different accent then a roman citizen in Eborum or Virunum. I assume it was a similar set up like todays german, everyone learns and reads "High German" but if the locals (Vienna, Munich, Berlin etc..) speak to each other an "outsider" has difficulties to follow, but the moment they switch to high german everyone understands... (could be completely wrong though hehe) cheers, viggen Yes, of course, people from different countries tend to transfer their pronunciation habits to Latin as well, just like 2000 years ago and I Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Viggen Posted January 2, 2006 Report Share Posted January 2, 2006 Swiss german is unique, it is basically just an allemanic dialect but unlike the allemanic dialects used in Germany, Austria or France it is an every day spoken language (TV, Radio etc...) unrestricted and practically used in all situations of daily life. A non allemanic person (like me, i belong to the Austro-Bavarian dialect group) can hardly understand them, my fellow countrymen in the most western austrian province called "Vorarlberg" which are the only ones in Austria speaking an allemanic dialect can follow without a problem... You can find an exellent overview about german dialects here http://german.about.com/library/weekly/aa051198.htm regards viggen Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh, and the link is very informative by the way, now it's much clearer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
