Lol @ pretending we know what any ancient languages actually sounded like.

It's actually not hard to figure out since there were people who could write and they didn lay down mentions to words that rhyme with each other or used puns. So from things like that we know what words sounded alike at the time and to find out exactly how they sounded we can look at various dialects that either use those same puns or in which those words still rhyme or even use ancient texts in their original form that were copied and translated by the Byzantines, often with notes on pronunciation in relation other languages. Their scholars deeply amired greek poetry and epics so getting these things right was very important to them and from their surviving analyses we can piece together the correct sounds and even account for accents when some scholars noted irregular spelling, in a way that we now recognize ebonics in its written form.
Wait, I've been saying it wrong? Fuck, it's deh-cart-ez all over again.
I use the Latinate pronunciation of Sōcratēs whereby the stress is put on the first syllable and it is pronounced like a long omikron, and then the final "e" is pronounced more like an elongated epsilon. I use this pronunciation in English because I can't stand the degree to which English mangles the names of the ancients.
3/20 made me reply
Correct reconstructed pronunciation is "Soo-krah-tehs"
However, in modern Greek it's "Soo-kra-tees".
>Correct reconstructed pronunciation is "Soo-krah-tehs"
Not quite. The alpha is short. No one reconstructs a long alpha there.
