Quote:Quote: in later Latin the 'c' was no longer pronounced as 'k' but 'ts' like in todays Italian.
And an 's' between two vocals tends to disappear...
So: Tsesar > Tsar
Would that be as early as 400A.D.?
Im always on the lookout for sources on C5th Latin structure, vocab & pronunciation - have you any recommendations?
