4. english pronunciation (of greek), a system of pronouncing greek with the english sounds of the corresponding latin letters. this system is now little used in the united states.
5. english pronunciation (of latin), a system of pronouncing latin which follows, with some exceptions, the general analogy of the modern pronunciation of english. the latin rule of accentuation determines the place of the accent; but the vowels are given their long or short english sounds without regard to their latin quantity. the english long sounds are used at the end of a word (but final a is usually obscure, as in coma), before another vowel, and at the end of an accented penult or of any unaccented syllable (except penultimate i). the english short sounds are used in a syllable ending with a consonant (except final es, os), before two consonants (not a mute and liquid) and x (= cs), and (excepting u) in an accented antepenult before a single consonant, if not followed by two vowels the former of which is e, i, or y. C, 8, and t, succeeding the accent, are equivalent to sh, and x is sounded like ksh, before two vowels the former of which is an unaccented i or y, unless 8, t, or x precedes. initial x is pronounced z. If the second of two initial consonants is not h, l, or r, the first (if not 8) is silent. initial chth and phth are pronounced th. there are no silent vowels. different authorities vary these rules somewhat, or acknowledge various exceptions to them. the english system of pronunciation of latin regulates the pronunciation in english of all proper names which have not altered their latin spelling, and of all latin words and phrases which have become anglicized.
6. Erasmian pronunciation (of greek), a system the earliest champion of which was Erasmus in his treatisede recta Latini Græcique Sermonis Pronunciatione” (Basel, 1528). the pronunciation universally in use at that time was the modern greek as used in the middle ages and supported by byzantine scholars at the time of the revival of letters. investigation led to a general conviction among scholars in the west of europe that the Erasmian theory of the ancient pronunciation was correct; and by the end of the sixteenth centuryafter considerable controversy, embittered by the fact that the traditional or modern pronunciation was favored by supporters of the papacy, and the Erasmian system by the reformersthe Erasmian system had come into general use, and the byzantine method of pronouncing greek as a living languagealso called the Reuchlinian, from Johann Reuchlin, the first great representative of greek scholarship in germanybecame obsolete in the western schools. in its original form the Erasmian pronunciation was distinguished from the Reuchlinian by giving most of the vowels the sounds which they have in latin as pronounced by most of the western nations, the Italians, germans, etc., and by pronouncing the diphthongs so that each vowel in them should preserve its own sound. as, however, this pronunciation closely approached that of the modern western languages in the sixteenth century, it became practically the usage that every nation should pronounce greek after the analogy of its own language, and, as this has gradually changed in each country, the pronunciation of greek has varied with it. in england, in the time of henry viii., the pronunciation of vowels was nearly the same as in continental languages. this is evident from the fact that the relation of the greek vowels, as pronounced by the Erasmian system, to those in the latin alphabet, as used in the vernacular, is treated by writers of that time as identical in england and on the continent. in england, accordingly, the Erasmian system of pronunciation was insensibly transformed into what is now called the english pronunciation of greek. the system known as the continental is a partial revision of the Erasmian; that designated as the eclectic restores the Erasmian with some alterations.

10. in all these systems
11. in all these systems b, d, f, h, k, l, m, n, p, ph (= f), q (qu = kw), r, t, th (in thin), have their ordinary english sounds. C and g represent c and g before e, æ, œ, i, and y; c and g represent c and g before other letters than these. the short vowel-sounds are used in the english and in the modified continental system in closed syllables, and the long vowel-sounds in open syllables, regardless of the ancient quantity. the roman system gives the same quality of sound to a short vowel as to a long, but makes it more rapid in pronunciation. in continental pronunciation s is by some pronounced z between two vowels, and in the modified system final ěs is pronounced āz, and final os ōs. for the pronunciation of c, s, and t as sh, and of x as ksh or z, see . pronounce ü as in german, or as french u.
