Latin Pronunciation Demystified
A short primer on the use of scientific Latin.
"This paper will tell you how to pronounce Latin words and phrases, given only the spelling and the vowel lengths (which you can look up in any Latin dictionary). I am addressing primarily people who are not schooled in Latin but need to pronounce Latin words because of their interest in science, history, or music."
