I don't know if this is the right board for this, because linguistics is a soft science but here goes.

I've been looking at the Latin languages lately and I've noticed that they all have similar rules of pronunciation with the letters c ang g. They're pronounced hard in front of a, o and u and each have they're particularity in front of the other vowels.

In reconstituted Latin pronunciation the c and g are pronounced hard in front of all vowels. How do we know this? I know it's been 1500 years, but how come all the Latin languages share this similarity but Latin doesn't have it?
