>British people love ancient Rome so much they make most of the media about them >at this point a lot of people will probably think romans spoke like modern British, with a heavily accented Latin in that way only English manages but at the same time feels out of place
I appreciate the effort but it just sounds so bad. Do you think in the future people will remember that being how Latin sounded?
they were literally hiding in swamps for no reason at all and cannibalizing each other before the romans fucked some civilization into them

Classical Latin is extremely well attested and it’s phonology has been reconstructed in considerable detail. No Latin will never be forgotten, if that’s what you were trying to ask.

I don't understand when they detached from being anglo-saxon, and began considering themselves roman. Is it because Rome was multicultural or some shit and they want the precedent? I don't get it at all.
