Latin Pronunciation
Just a refresher.
Latin Pronunciation (Roman System):
Vowels
Vowel | Short | Long
A: as in pat or father
E: as in pet or they
I: as in fit or machine
O: as in obey (long is the same)
U: as in put or rule
Diphthongs
AE: like ai in aisle
OE: like oi in foil
AU: like ou in out
EI: as in feign
EU: like ew in dew
UI: like we
Consonants
Mostly like in English,
C: always as in cat
G: always as in gun
NGU: as in unguent
QU: as in quit
R: always as in three
J (consonantal I): like y in yet
V (consonantal U): like w in water
BS: like English ps
BT: like English pt
S: always as in this
SU: always as in suave
T: always as in tin
X: always as in extra
Z: like dz in adze
Double consonants are pronounced as one.
There are no translations for articles (a, an, the)
Accent
With words of two syllables, the accent is on the first syllable.
With words of more than two syllables, the accent is on the second to last syllable if the vowel is long, otherwise it is on the second syllable
Examples
All of these are in the nominative case.
bellum, war
servus, slave or servant
terra, earth or land
porta, gate
provincia (long o), province
veritas (long e and a), truth
caelum, heavens or sky
rex (long e), king
salus (long u); safety, welfare, or salvation
Christus (long i), Christ
Christus, rex terrae et Caeli, salutem Christianis dedit.
Christ, the king of Heaven and earth, gave Christians salvation.
If you're going to do something, do it right.

Re: Latin Pronunciation
I know a little Latin, but ant classification helps a lot, I think.
"God made every kind of wild beasts and every kind of livestock and every kind of creeping things;" (including ants) "and God saw that it was good." Genesis 1:25

Re: Latin Pronunciation
Oh amazing.
Camponotus novaeboracensis
I’ve been pronouncing it “no vay bora censis”
But I guess it’s “no vi bora censis”?
How about Camponotus xiangban?

Re: Latin Pronunciation
Camponotus novaeboracensis sounds like
Camp-oh-not-us no-why-bow-ruh-ken-sis
The species name of Camponotus xiangban is not in Latin.

Re: Latin Pronunciation
Actually, pheidole is Greek for thriftiness, but pallidula is Latin (pallidula meaning somewhat pale, similarly, Formica pallidefulva roughly translated means "pale yellow ant", "ant" coming from Formica and "pale yellow" coming from pallidefulva).
I'm not sure about Pheidole, but pallidula would be pal-LEE-due-la, make sure you pronounce the two L's as one, not as if it were two different words. Pronounce the -la at the end like the musical note (do, re, mi, fa, so , la, ti, do). The capitalized syllable is just my way of marking which syllable is accented.
