Synopsis
Excerpt from The Correct Pronunciation of Latin According to Roman Usage
Setting aside the consideration of accents, which also have great weight in phonetics, it is quite certain that even during the golden period the language was not uniform for the substrati particularly in the cities along the coasts, in the Lazio district and in upper Italy. Along the coasts, the influence of the Greek was strongly felt, in the Lazio the Etruscan, and in upper Italy the Gallic. The same applies to the Italian language. It is spoken well by all the cultured people of the Peninsula, but their pronunciation differs slightly or to a greater degree according to the region to which they belong. For example: the Tuscan pronunciation of Italian is different from the Roman, and this, again, is quite distinct from the Neapolitan or Sicilian. We have the same condition in America where English is pronounced somewhat differently than in England and where the East, West and South have their indie vidual pronunciations and colloquialisms.
It was previously stated that the Latin pronunciation closest to the ancient is the Roman and therefore to be preferred. May we Offer the following reasons.

The Correct Pronunciation of Latin According to Roman Usage (Classic Reprint)
Print on DemandSeller: Forgotten Books, London, United Kingdom
Seller rating 5 out of 5 stars
Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book delves into the intricacies of Latin pronunciation, specifically focusing on the Roman tradition as advocated by the Catholic Church in the early 20th century. It explores the historical evolution of the language, highlighting the influence of various regional dialects and the gradual shift from classical Latin pronunciation. The author provides a comprehensive guide to the correct pronunciation of Latin vowels, consonants, diphthongs, and double vowels, emphasizing the importance of proper articulation for clear and effective communication in both spoken and sung Latin. The book includes phonetic arrangements of liturgical texts, such as the Ordinary of the Mass, Requiem Mass, and hymns, allowing readers to apply the pronunciation rules in a practical context. Furthermore, the book presents official documents and letters from Pope Pius X, Pope Pius XI, and Cardinal Gasparri, underscoring the Church's efforts to promote the adoption of Roman pronunciation for greater liturgical unity and understanding among Catholics worldwide. The author argues that while no single pronunciation perfectly preserves the phonetics of classical Latin, the Roman tradition offers the closest approximation and serves as a unifying force for scholars, teachers, and clergy alike. By illuminating the nuances of Roman Latin pronunciation, this book provides valuable insights into the history and significance of a language that has profoundly shaped Western culture and continues to resonate in the liturgy of the Catholic Church.
