What are the differences in pronunciation and morphology between Classical Latin and Modern Italian? And what is “Vulgar Latin“ exactly? Is it the same as informal Latin or conversational Latin? Is Italian a natural language, or is it artificial? Did Latin have a vowel system of 9 qualities, as W. Sydney Allen (Vox Latina) professes, or is the Calabrese System a better pronunciation model? These questions and more will be answered! Many thanks to my sponsor Ancient Language Institute.
