Any Latin scholars out there?

So, exactly *how* do you pronounce ‘nonscholae’?

  1. Try this: http://www.utexas.edu/courses/cc303/sounds/.

    I think that it would sound something like “non sko lie”, but I ain’t no latin scholar ;)

  2. I think it’s more like “non skol aye”

  3. I vote for “non SKOL eh”, where the “e” in “eh” is pronounced as the “e” in “hey”.

  4. There’s debate over the way you should pronounce ancient latin.

    The “classical” pronounce of that would be: “non skol the “a” you get in “bar” the second you get in “prevent” (wierd examples, i know)

    The more used one (at least here (Italy) ) and the one I think is more broadly used would skip the “a” and just pronounce the “e” (so ae will go together in “e”). “non skole” Last “e” again the kind of e you get in “vent”

    mm I hope i was clear enough! :D

  5. My latin teacher (back in junior high - sheesh) taught us to use the second one: non skol aye

  7. Most excellent, I guess the conclusion is that we’re all right :D

    Are there any good Klingon educational maxims?
