[QUOTE="shanxi, post: 7832169, member: 101607"]Off topic, but how Latin sounded is also an interesting question. Today's Italian and the other Romance languages have changed a lot since then. One of the most similar languages to the original Latin is probably Rheto-Romance[B].[/B] The language comes from a small region in Switzerland where the inhabitants are particularly stubborn. :D If you want to hear it, here is Franz Hohler, a swiss writer from this region, speaking Rheto-Romance: [MEDIA=youtube]eXqS9SWdYaM[/MEDIA] The Sardinian language is also very close to Latin, but usually they speak faster. :smuggrin: [MEDIA=youtube]Pr_BHjAdZNo[/MEDIA] It would be interesting to know which of the two would have been understood in ancient Rome.[/QUOTE]
