Renaissance Flemish Latin

[ABAlphaBeta]

It's always worth nothing that "Ecclesiastical Latin" as a *pronunciation standard* is an artificial concept*, a "standard" introduced by the Pope in the 19th century while his influence was gaining momentum again (especially with so few countries still being catholic - the Anglicans definitely didn't use Ecclesiastical, they went from Late Modern English Latin, pronouncing words as we do now, say "ad hoc" and "momentum", to reconstructed "Classical" pronunciation [itself an artifice based on the elite of Cicero's time]), based on Vatican Latin (the Venetians didn't say t͡ʃ but t͡s, Neapolitans had unstressed ə). Before then, every country had its own pronunciation of Latin, sort-of "dialects" heavily influenced by the language's pronunciation and following that (French and German Latin gained a uvular when their languages did, Swedish Latin likely developed tonally). So no one in the 16-17th century used "Ecclesiastical Latin", but rather their local pronunciation, like here for the Flemish part of Belgium and the Netherlands.

*Obviously, Church usage of Latin, differing from e.g. a merchant's, can be called "Ecclesiastical" starting from the 4th century when a proper hierarchy is established and they settle on Latin. This is strictly about Italianate (in fact, Romanesque) pronunciation.

Translation: "Hidy Christian, knockin' back Nattie Light? Salivating, apparently, trying to be terra incognita like Angelo? Like Angelo you'll be exulting and just like Gloria, dissing Deo Excabibo. Where's Lisa?!

Where can I learn more about the ways different regions pronounced Latin? I'm specifically interested in Ireland.

Can you do a video on how the anglo saxons would've pronounced their latin?

Cool! Wouldn't Renaissance Flemish have already lost aspiration on voiceless plosives, though, or was that a later development?

I like that apparrently evryone had their own pronounzation of latin. Did the dutch also had their own?

Can you put some sources in your videos?

You pronounced V like W, other than that, pretty good.
