To one who believes firmly that in the teaching of ancient as well as of modern languages an accurate pronunciation is the best possible start toward language mastery and the appreciation of literature, the pronunciation of Greek and Latin is a subject of unfailing interest. The evidence for the ancient pronunciation has been studied by a considerable number of scholars, and has recently been set forth excellently by Edgar H. Sturtevant in the second edition of his Pronunciation of Greek and Latin (Linguistic Society of America, 1940). The essential features of the phonology are, of course, settled beyond doubt, yet as to some lesser points of the pronunciation it is still possible to raise certain questions, even if one cannot always answer them. The theme of this discussion is the bearing of evidence from the modern languages on the pronunciation of gn in Latin and of γμ and γv in Greek.
