VOX POPVLI :
My blogs
| Introduction | A Latin phrase that literally means "voice of the people" || Classical Latin /ˈwɔk̑s ˈpɔpʊli:/ -- Classically, ‹V› represented /w/ and /ʊ/. The letter ‹U› didn't exist, neither did the /v/ sound. || Ecclesiastical "Church" Latin /ˈvɒk̑s ˈpɒpjʉlȃɪ/ -- The Roman Catholic Church pronounces Latin as though it were Italian; they also introduced a distinction between ‹V› and ‹U›. |
