Pronunciation Most consonants (B, D, F, etc.) are pronounced as they are in English – One exception is “C”, which will always be said hard like a “K” Ex: agricola (farmer) – Another is “G,” which will always be said hard Ex: NEVER like “g” in the English word “gem”

Pronunciation “I” may replace “J” or sound like “Y” – Ex: Troia (Trojan) – Ex: iam (now) “U” and “V” are often interchangeable – Ex: vulnus (wound) = uulnus “V” is said like “W” – Ex: Veni, Vidi, Vici = “Weni, Wedi, Weekee”
