The Latin speaker presents the so-called “restored classical” pronunciation in a modern Italian accent. I’m skeptical, but without 2,000-year-old audio recordings, it’s tough to say definitively that this is “wrong.”

One of the YT comments claimed that the Aramaic was actually Hebrew.

Thanks for posting this. I know a school teacher who has students who speak Mayan. Two different dialects in fact. Interesting to know what she might be hearing.

Having studied 4 of the “Romance” languages derived from Roman Latin, it is amazing how different each language sounds from the other despite the fact they have many similar words and grammar structures. I am speaking of Spanish, Italian, French and Portuguese.

While studying in Mexico in the late 1950s, I took a linguistics course during which we studied Nahuatl (the Aztec language) which at that time was spoken by around 1/2 million people, many monolingual. I traveled south to Oaxaca and then San Cristobal de las Casas, where I joined some other Americans on a horseback visit to a Mayan related village 6 miles away from the nearest vehicle road. It was a large village of from 500 to 1,000 people. The first thing we did when we arrived was look for the Mayor and his 2 assistants. THey were the only people in the village who spoke Spanish, and we asked their permission to waalk around the village and take pictures. Everyone except these 3 men mostly wore hand woven native garments. They were also hold a religious festival which mixed Indian and Spanish religious traditions. The town church had not had a priest since the 1930s.

That video is very interesting.

What it teaches me is the transience of everything. All that seems so absolute, concrete, and permanent, including our entire world and everything that is reality, is ephemeral, transient, and endlessly flowing.

Our language--and everything else--which seem so permanent will eventually become obsolete, incoherent, and ultimately forgotten and lost.

Perhaps Truth exists, but we cannot know It. Perhaps we can glimpse It or something of It.

The most knowable thing to me is this: God = Truth.

[Larry Lucido]

That’s one problem with the concept of time travel. Even if you could get there, everything would sound like gibberish. I think Michael Crichton addressed that.

I see this all the time. My wife frequently has her Chinese friends over for a visit.

[married21]

Wow. Wonder what happened to those pictures that your group took.
