pronuniation question.
I am an american but live in Italy for many many (too many?) years. I also never studied latin. So I ask: what is the correct "english" pronunciation of Cannae? I was surpirsed to hear "can-ee". Italians say something like "cann-eh". Can-ee sound ridiculous. I like the italian pronunciation, but maybe I am just used to it. How would sound like in classic latin?
