ok sorry

[charbway]

what if you pronounced it like kay ser. that would be funny i think

[Sovereign]

Yeah in Ancient Rome Caesar would have been pronounced "kizar" rather then the modern "seezar". The German word Kaiser originates from Caesar.

Ex-wife #1 taught Latin, French and Greek at Brown University for awhile. When I asked her about the proper way to pronounce Latin she said "pretty much how ever you want." It's been a dead language for so long that nobody really knows how the Romans spoke it. Today most people believe that how it's spoken in the Catholic Mass must be how it's supposed to sound just because they've been at for a millenium or so, but there's no way to prove it. The closest language to Latin today is actually Romanian, at least in vocabulary and syntax.

No offense intended, but I'm not sure where she studied, and (forgive me, but) perhaps it's been a long time for her, or whatever else, but what you said isn't true, nor is it anything I've ever even heard. First of all, I, too, have multiple Latin teachers in my family. Secondly, these sources will help catch you up to speed. :) Your wife will probably be impressed at all of the HUGE progresses in Latin that have been made! If it's her field of study, she will probably be overjoyed.

This is just a taste:

EX-wife. Cute video but hardly compelling proof. Quintillius as his source? He was from Spain and undoubtedly spoke provincial Latin. It would be like citing someone with a heavy Texas accent as an authority on how to speak English. :) Trying to figure out pronunciation of a long dead language by backtracking from a variety of modern derivitives is pure speculation. My interest was always Middle English (much more recent than Latin) and scholars today still get into knock-down-drag-out arguments over how that was pronounced. Like Latin, it too had regional dialects. Heck, you'd be hard pressed to find a group of linguists today that agree completely on how to pronounce Modern English. Personally, I like the modern Italian way of pronouncing caesar - "cheeser" ; ).

Hail kaiser

[Akasaki]

Well, some people respect him pronounce it "car-e-sar" as he likes to hear. But the NCR or people who hate him may purposely call "see-sar" to mock him.

They don't say KAI-SER as in SIR they say SAR! as in SAR! Kaiser would be KYE-SIR while CAESAR would be KAY-SAR. BUT in English, French and German we treat it as if it's spelled Ceasar, not CAESAR which reflects the enunciation. The funny part is... they're speaking English yet they don't pronounce as we do in English they pronounce as if they are in Rome, they are THAT fanatical.

Cae would be KAY even by English rules. While KAI would be KYE, SAR is SAR. SER is SIR/SER, same difference. MOST other languages recognize it as Ceeser even in it's language of orgin it's KYE-SAR!

It's as if EVERYONE is TOO stubborn and embarrassed to admit KAI is KYE and CAE is KAY while SAR is SAR, SER is SIR/SER and this entire time they have been collectively modifying and defying their very rules of their languages to demonstrate how confused and clueless OR STUBBORN they are.

MOST people know, they just don't care, it falls under whatever, they would rather move to something that's IMPORTANT instead of proving NOTHING arguing the obvious.
