>Why yes I use reconstructed pronunciation meme
>So what if 2 people can't agree on what it actually was like, nobody can pronounce it correctly either way, the "evidence" is often anecdotal and conflicting, I use artifical, ugly conventional pronunciation that no one ever used and test everything as hieroglyphics?

>you must pronounce this letter as I say (which no-one can actually do correctly nor will anyone ever) according to "evidence" even though this other academic says you should pronounce it this other way

Extant pronounciations derived from medieval periods represent language deterioration.

Scholars understand history better than clerics and nationalist larpers.

How do you pronounce Greek and Latin? If you actually correctly follow all the "reconstructions" and speak it as a classical-times native (and not a barbarian trying to mimick them and fit in) would, please upload a recording, I'm curious. (even if there will be people that disagree with some of your reconstructions either way)

[Anonymous No.15175055]

>>15174998
And that matters, how?

[Anonymous No.15175078]

As if that could ever give the clerics and larpers pause.

>Ioannis Stratakis
Probably the best example one out there but he spent a big fraction of his life and tons of effort working on it, and he still often doesn't get the pitches and lenghts perfect (that is, what theoretically would be 'perfect'), nor will he or any other human being born after ever.

Also there's certain phonemes on which there is no absolute accademic consensus on.
