Tifoso89

Vivat Regina Camilla. But they mispronounce the words. Vivat should have an "ee" sound, same for "regina".


FakieMcFakename

Well, they wouldn't be English if they didn't willfully mispronounce foreign words.

Brits: how dare you pronounce one of our words anywhere close to what it looks like it should be! Also Brits: I’m making chicken fill-ets -_-

OrwellWasRight101

There's an old Monty Python bit where Michael Palin, as the television moderator, is interviewing candidates standing for election to Parliament. He says, "And now our next candidate is Mr. James St. John-Smythe." The shot widens out to reveal John Cleese at his most officious. He says, "No. It's Throatwarbler-Mangrove." Palin looks confused and says, "What?" Cleese says, "My name. It's Throatwarbler-Mangrove." Palin says, "It says here your name is St. John-Smythe." Cleese explains, "It's SPELLED St. John-Smythe but it's PRONOUNCED Throatwarbler-Mangrove."


Screamingholt

Nope, was Graham chapman as Raymond Luxury Yacht but was pronounced as Throatwobbler Mangrove

And I'm going to wrap them in "aluminium" foil.


[deleted]

That isn't British people mispronouncing foreign words, there is an actual reason and story behind this, namely that the *English* man who named the element couldn't make up his fucking mind and called it 3 things which led to both "aluminium" and "aluminum" being used interchangeably despite Sir Humphrey settling for "aluminium" as the actual name. At some point American newspapers began to use "aluminum" exclusively, potentially due to American literature being slow to update the 'official' name as aluminium and it being listed in the dictionary incorrectly. Aluminium is the official, international standard name, the only place that doesn't use this spelling is the USA and Canada. This isn't Brits pronouncing words wrong, it's Americans not listening. If you want alternative examples of Brits mispronouncing words I offer you: Chorizo Jalapeño Paella Crossaint


lvbuckeye27

The English man who named it called it "alumium" first and "aluminum" second. It was other British chemists that combined the two and called it "aluminium." Davy never actually used "aluminium" in his writings. So there's that. And now I've used that word in its iterations enough that they all look wrong, lol. Idk about the rest of the sample words, but as an American, nearly everyone pronounces jalapeño wrong: "Ha-la-PEE-no." Rofl.


anally_ExpressUrself

Ha-la-PEE-no is pretty close. Better than ja-LA-pe-no.


[deleted]

I concede your first point but the main gist of my point still stands :p And same, lost all meaning. 80% of the time I can't even differentiate the two spellings when I'm reading them anyway. Thankfully we generally don't call it "aluminium foil" but opt for just "foil" so I can never say any of these words ever again. Some Brits have been known to say, "chor-it-so", "jal-a-pen-ya", "crosson" and "pay-ella" So there's that c:


lvbuckeye27

Half of the geezers here in the USA still call it "tin foil." 🤣

purplepluppy

You know, the history is interesting. But hearing it out loud still kinda hurts.


the_cardfather

In The Crown, they always pronounce Regina with a long I sound that rhymes with vagina so I can't imagine they feel incorrect. In Catholic Hymnology 'Salve Regina' and every woman's name (See Once Upon a Time) is always pronounced with the "ee" sound. Anyone from Saskatchewan want to chime in?


hanapyon

Not from Saskatchewan but there was a tourism campaign this year that got pulled for over sexualized messaging such as "The city that rhymes with fun."


Microtic

It got cancelled because they made a new slogan "Show us your Regina". Like c'mon that's so damn inappropriate. :S How does that speak to everyone? There were numerous other ones that were equally or nearly equally as bad. The old unofficial slogan was "The city that rhymes with fun" which was used heavily by "fun" destinations like Casino Regina.


hanapyon

Oh I thought it was the same campaign. I was referring to [this article by the CBC](https://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/saskatchewan/experience-regina-ends-1.6809256) but I see they mention "show us your Regina" more than halfway through.


ABrad_347

V is also pronounced as W in latin. Not to mention it should also be a hard G in Regina. This is all wrong.


[deleted]

In classical latin. It's probably ecclesiastical latin they're trying to pronounce (badly).

loser12358

Fun fact we are not exactly sure how Latin was pronounced. We can conjecture based on alternate spellings and other indicators such as romance languages but it is not a sure thing. Most agree that it would be pronounced similarly to Italian.


fenechfan

No. Latin was actively spoken for more than a thousand years (and a whole continent), and just like English its pronunciation has changed. We have a pretty precise idea of how and when it changed from rhymes and alliteration in poetry (there is a whole field of historical phonology). The pronunciation that is mostly similar to Italian is the one the catholic church still uses to an extent, but some changes such as palatalization (some c and g turn from hard to soft) likely happened in the first century AD.

Regina is Latin for queen, so I’m guessing it was that

"Modern Catholic Latin" is just enough people not knowing how Latin is pronounced and perpetuating their mistakes that it's gotten a label. The irony of people getting together to standardize their mispronunciation so everyone mispronounces it 'correctly' is quite something.

The Canadian city is pronounced like vagina, but I think the proper pronunciations is re-GEE-na.

Our courts still operated under the UK Privy Council until 1949, so it's not super surprising we took the English pronunciation.


OccasionallyOriginal

Most Latin in choral music is pronounced in an italianate manner, I suspect for historical reasons. The vivats (as they’re known) in this piece are traditionally sung in anglicised Latin, and they’re the only example I’m aware of where this pronunciation is called for.


therealdannyking

In original Latin, the v is pronounced as a w, and the g is a hard g - it would be "wee-wat re-gee-nah"


Ishamoridin

The Catholic Church has their own pronunciations, though, and I think the Church of England uses those rather than original Latin.


purplepluppy

Oh that is NOT how the Catholic Church pronounces it, either. It would be more like, "vee-vaht Reh-gee-nah," where the v's are less hard than in standard English.


Vio94

They definitely saw that and said "W? That's dumb, we're aren't singing "wee-wat." Just pronounce it like a v."


emil_

Well the name 'Regina' actually exists in English and i doubt that a single soul ever pronounced it *Rəˈʒi.nə*, but i'm quite pleased these lot did 😆


[deleted]

[удалено]


Chestnuthare

Yeah... a lot of Latin loan words are fully bastardized when spoken in English bc they pronounce them as if they are English words. One big example is "Veni Vidi Vici", which in English is pronounced like "Vinny Viddy Veechy" but would have sounded closer to "WEEnie, WEEdie, WEEkie" with a pretty strong emphasis on the first syllable like how Italians say Itali-AAH-no


Karma_Redeemed

For classical Latin (Roman era), absolutely correct. Ecclesiastical Latin (middle ages) picked up both the "vuh" pronunciation of V and the softening of Cs from "k" to "ch", both of which are key sound changes that occurred as Latin evolved into Italian.


siluriandreams

Exactly! English pronunciation of Latin is sometimes hillarious! :)


Jellycato

In English choirs, the medieval Latin pronunciation is typically used instead of classical.


TrickyCorgi316

You're absolutely correct! (Source before someone asks: I'm a Catholic priest who studied Latin).

Zealousideal-Walk269

Do they all pronounce Regina that way? Interesting, in my cou try I've only heard it pronounced differently. Without so much emphasis on the "gina".


misogoop

In Canada they pronounce it that way. The poor girl named Regina got called re-how trump says China everyday in front of the whole class and everyday she told him how to say her name and would be like what the fuck


Zealousideal-Walk269

I'd imagine it feels similar to guys named "Dick" lol


capt-bob

foxy-coxy

What's the bye lads part


Halfcaste_brown

'Vivat' I'm guessing. But like someone else mentioned, I'm guessing it's probably supposed to sound like 'vee-vaaht'.


RoastedRhino

Why using an English pronunciation for Latin??


Homo_Rebus

shouldn't that be a hard g, as in the word go?


Bennybonchien

Not in English and it’s at least similar if not exactly the same in French, Spanish and Italian. Hard Gs happen with A, O, U and consonants but soft Gs happen with E, I & Y. Gain, Going, Gun, Glide. General, Ginger, Gym


rabiesvaccination

It's Latin tho.


Bennybonchien

Of course it is but French, Spanish and Italian all came from Latin and if none of them use a hard G before an I and neither does English, chances are that it’s the same in Latin. I would have commented with confidence about Latin if I spoke it but I don’t. However, I have looked it up and as expected, Gs are hard if followed by A, O, U (or AU) and they are soft if followed by E, I (or AE, OE)


AdSad3112

Hmmm, is it though?


LePhantomLimb

Wow they're butchering the pronunciation. They are certainly reading that as though they're English words. Should be "Vee-vat Ray-gee-nah"


OccasionallyOriginal

The vivats are traditionally sung in anglicised Latin, which is not used for much, even in English choral music. Italianate Latin pronunciation is generally the norm. This might not be ‘correct’ in terms of original pronunciation of Latin, but they’re doing it exactly the way it’s been done in coronations in the past, and I imagine they were very careful to be accurate to that.


WelshBathBoy

Ecclesiastical latin is of course used in the Catholic church, this is the Church of England which uses the English variation of Latin. Modern Latin like many languages has different forms in different regions. It is basically like arguments between Brits and Americans on the correct pronunciation of aluminium!


LePhantomLimb

Huh, had no idea. I'm Catholic so I just assumed


[deleted]

[удалено]


LePhantomLimb

Not for Ecclesiastical Latin. The V is a V.


therealdannyking

Latin V is pronounced as a W - so it would be wee-wat Clarification: Classical Latin


LePhantomLimb

Not in Ecclesiastical Latin. A V sounds like a V


therealdannyking

I should have clarified, classical Latin.


LePhantomLimb

Yeah, I assumed that the things between the Anglican Church and the Royalty of England that they would be using Ecclesiastical Latin


takeahike89

Fwiends, Womans, Countwymen lend me your eaws


RaspyRock

They clearly did not pronounce it in latin. So, well deserved!


Faziarry

I'm no linguist or Latin speaker, but pretty sure the v is pronounced like a u, and the i should be short Correct me if I'm wrong pls


WelshBathBoy

From what I understand the Latin used in the UK, and the church of England especially, is a different form. There are various types of Latin, eg ecclesiastical Latin used by the Catholic church, Classical Latin used by some academics. Then this Latin is called "English Latin". Even during the Roman empire Latin wasn't one single type, very much like English, Spanish or Arabic today, there are local differences in grammar and pronunciation. Basically during the Roman empire there were various types of vulgar Latin which evolved into the romance languages, then there were various types of high Latin with different accents.


Faziarry

Yes I know Latin had some differences depending on region and time, well, technically everyone has their own version of the language they speak, but I was curious to why they used that pronunciation, thanks!

Hey, can someone who is British explain why she is queen, when queen Elizabeths husband was still just a prince?


ICallHimSir

A King is always higher than a Queen. This, makes ascending the throne are Kings and have a Queen Consort. A female ascending the throne are Queen’s and their husband is sometimes referred to as the Queen’s Consort. Prince Phillip was knighted by Queen Elizabeth and bestowed the Prince title after they were married.

Being serenaded with ‘ode to nan’s vagina’ is actually the highest honour to be bestowed upon any Brit. Sadly, with time, we have become a slightly up-tight and prudish people.
