Are you aware of Latinum? It has thousands of hours of Latin audio.

Leo Latinus has made some nice recordings using classical pronunciation: Caesar, Cicero, Livius, Seneca and some modern stuff.

As to Latinum - Evan is re-recording everything in light of what he has learnt over the years. The new site is:

Well over 90% of all the Latin I have ever heard being read aloud (Evan, Radio Bremen, Radio Finland) is read at such an excruciatingly slow pace that I find it truely unlistenable. I've gone beyond wondering why this do this ever for these advanced venues for listening, to wondering instead how they can stand never coming close to a normal speaking pace. Leo Latinus doesn't offer any audio samples. I'd be willing to pay good money for some decent sounding recordings, but the odds are against their being this unless someone can say otherwise.
On another note, on purely accoustic grounds, does anyone actually LIKE the way that tne trendiest nasalized Latin sounds? I respect the choice of anyone who feels that this is more correct, but I'll pronounce my own accusative m's until my dying day just because it sounds so much better to do. 1 person has voted this message useful | |||

I realize that nasality is accepted by many, but so far as I can tell, it has not come close to hitting consensus yet (Wheelock's and several other of my texts, for example, don't mention it at all). Thus I'm sticking with the conservative non-nasal approach until I'm convinced it is more likely to be incorrect. I realize nasality would explain, for example, the elision of m's in Latin verse. But simple dropping of m's in common speech strikes me as an equally good explanation for this phenomenon. Moreover, the only nasality we have in the daughter languages--principally Portuguese and French--is, as I understand it, not descended from the purported original Latin nasality but a secondary, independent development. So I pronounce the m's as in English unless better arguments arise. 1 person has voted this message useful |
