Sound of Ancient Languages | Phonetics

The phonetic differences among ancient languages were just as significant as they are nowadays.

Even so, if we are able to reconstruct the main phonological characteristics of an ancient language, the way those phonemes were actually pronounced varies a lot in the details.

Even worse is the fact that, since there are no native speakers of those languages, any attempt to reproduce the sounds of that ancient language, which are already just a likely and substantiated estimate, is inevitably marred by a foreign accent - and we can’t be able to tell whether that accent is strong or weak, because we don’t know exactly how the native speakers pronounced their sentences.
