Re: Erasmian Pronunciation Variants
You all bring up issues worth discussing, but I would like to treat one thing at a time. "how about checking the other alternative I indicated, i.e. the Greek voice pronouncing ορθόδοξος and ορχήστρα?" Vasile, I've got my headphones now. And have you changed your website from English to Ro...

Re: Erasmian Pronunciation Variants
Steven, her pronunciation of "clock" sounds very similar to "cluck" and her "rock" sounds like "ruck". I don't see much of a difference. Here's a few entries from Vasile's Cambridge dictionary which might serve as reference: Tumble Tomcat Tupperware Tommy gun

Re: Erasmian Pronunciation Variants
Thank you Vasile, I'm traveling now and I will listen to those more closely when I return home where I have some good quality headphones. "General American lacks the “short o” sound of British “top.” If you rhyme “father” and “bother,” you don’t have the British short o." Stephen do you ha...

Re: Erasmian Pronunciation Variants
Well Vasile, We seem to be having some trouble agreeing, I'm disappointed but not surprised. One thing before moving on: You've listed the British pronunciation of "top" as being the closest example of how to pronounce the omicron. You seem to disagree that it makes the same sound as "...

Re: Erasmian Pronunciation Variants
Thank you Valise, I certainly agree that one who learns any language aught to have a consistent way of pronouncing the words. I won't get to all the points made in your post, but firstly I would like to answer about the omicron sounds demonstrated on your website: I'm not sure about formal British E...

Re: Erasmian Pronunciation Variants
Valise, Thank you very much for sharing your website, and I say your English is very good for a Romanian. I gather the system you prefer to use is a hybrid between the Erasmian and the Modern but where the Erasmian is dominant. Is that fair to say? Furthermore there are a few things I would like to ...

Prayers in Ancient Greek
Hi, I find it edifying to pray in Ancient Greek whenever I can, and for anyone who would be interested in sharing, I would like this thread to be for the purpose of collecting Ancient Greek Prayers. One prayer I've started to say is Psalm 1 which is as follows: Μακαριος ανηρ ος ουκ επορευθη εν βουλη...

Erasmian Pronunciation Variants
Hello, I gather that the Erasmian isn't the favored pronunciation here, however I can't find a better place than this forum to post about it; and it seems I've already exhausted the discussion at my local college. This thread is a continuation of my introduction where we began to speak about pronunc...

Re: Greetings χαιρετε
...and yes, from what I can tell all of the above grammars are indeed Erasmian. What I was going to say next was that I dislike the Erasmian further because my professor tends to arbitrarily use long and short epsilons and iotas at her discretion, but after reviewing a few of the threads around here...
