What can you tell me about ancient Latin phonetics?

Answer by  erinica11 (48)

In ancient Latin, all consonants are pronounced harshly. For example, the letter "C" is pronounced like "K" in English. The biggest exception to this is that the letter "V" is pronounced like an English "W. " Vowels are pronounced as follows: "A" like "ah;" "E" like "eh;" "I" like "eee;" "O" like "ouh;" and "U"like "uuu. " "Ae" is pronounced "eye. "
