The S sound of Latin & Greek: Retracted S | Latin & Greek Pronunciation

How does S sound in Latin and Greek? After hinting at this topic superficially for many months, my friend and colleague Raphael Turrigiano and I FINALLY explore in great detail the linguistic science behind retracted S and why this *is* the correct pronunciation of S (σ) in Greek in all time periods, and is the sound of S in Ancient Latin, including and especially Classical Latin. It also applies to the sound of S in Old Norse, Proto-Germanic, and Proto-Indo-European. 🦂 Sign up for my Latin Pronunciation & Conversation series on Patreon: Master phonology with Raphael Turrigiano as your tutor!
