APPENDIX A

Simple Pronunciation Guide

a = ah (father) n = n (now)
b = b (boy) o = o (oh)
c = k (cap) p = p (pan)
d = d (dog) qu = kw (quick)
e = ay (say) r = r (run)
or eh (bed) s = ss (hiss)
f = f (fun) t = t (ton)
g = g (gum) u = oo (too)
h = h (hear) or uh (put)
i = ee (see) v = w (well)
*i = y (you) x = x (fox)
l = l (lamp) z = z (zoo)
m = m (man)

* While there is no "j" in classical Latin, when converted into English, sometimes one
appears. This is pronounced as "y" as in "you."

All vowels are pronounced separately except diphthongs. Thus "mane" is pronounced
MAN-ay.

The major Latin diphthongs are

ae = I (lie)
au = ow (owl)
oi = oy (boy)

The stress in a Latin word is usually placed on the second to last or next to last syllable,
never on the final syllable. (EX. "agricola" = ah-GREE-co-la).
