Yeah, 'cause down here in Texas, we don't have accents at all. It's those people who live outside the borders. :wink:
I really wonder how anyone can know what 1st Century Latin sounded like. It's not like they made recordings we could listen to, you know? The Church Latin (Latin Vulgate) was not the same as the Latin that Cicero used, and that was very likely different from the sound of 5th C BC Latin. Things change over time, you're right. Consider Mexican Spanish and Castillian, or Parisian French and Quebecois or Cajun French.
