Most of the people in Europe who can speak Latin are registered at SCHOLA , a Latin
language social network. No-one has trouble understanding anyone else. In academic circles restored classical pronunciation is the norm, and is increasingly the universal standard. In the UK it is the standard pronunciation. http://schola.ning.com 5 persons have voted this message useful | |

A question: how is ei (dativus of is/ea/id) is correctly pronounced: as one syllable like
/'ɛj/ or as two like /'ɛi:/? In general, how to know if in a word ae, oe, au, eu, ui is a diphthong or not? I think that if one of the vowels is long, than it is not a diphthong, but I am not sure. Edited by maxval on 15 January 2013 at 6:49pm 1 person has voted this message useful | |

It's "eī", so the correct pronunciation would be ['ɛi:] or ['ei:], depending on how you pronounce 'e'.
Your assumption about diphthongs in general is right, although according to German pronunciation conventions 'ae' and 'oe' are never pronounced as diphthongs, but as [ɛ:] and [ø:]. Edited by Josquin on 15 January 2013 at 7:41pm 2 persons have voted this message useful | |
