Troy

Troyee
Troyeeani

So therefore, "Troyans" is the most the correct.

Absolutely not, it cannot.

I've always been interested about that city in France called Troyes, is it pure coincidence?

Didn't I already say it boils down to *nglo phonetics?

Very common, actually.

Note the 'jam'.

No. The frequency of its usage depends on the nation. Is a medieval evolution of spelling.

It was common practice, throughout renaissance Europe, to write consonantal 'i' as a 'j'. It has only recently (last 100 years or so) gone back to consonantal 'i'.

Troad is acceptable.

The 'Troad' is technically the area around Troy.

You can blame the Romans for this. Latin intervocalic "y" became "j" (I'm assuming you don't know IPA).

How retarded can you be

Renaissance Latin is still Latin, you imbecile.

Did the trojans speak latin?

No, and no one ever said they did.

right there you curtsy faggot

>Greece
>Greeks

Shoudn't we be calling them "Greeceians"?

Greekese

Read the thread, idiot.

The English pronounce 'Trojan' the way they do because the word comes from the Latin word 'Troia' which has an intervocalic or consonantal 'i' which was written 'j' in Renaissance Latin.

Greecemen

Latin.

Greece = Graecia (Graekya)
Greek = Graecus (Graekus)

IT was. Read Cassius’ monologue to Brutus in Shakespeare’s Julius Caesar; it was rendered Troyan.

A different variation must have been Troian, which was mutated into Trojan as people ITT have said

My bad, it was actually A Midsummer’s Night Dream

This is the best shitpost I have seen in a while. Good job, OP

Jesus Christ, you are incredibly dense. This is a well-established tendency in English, to mis-pronounce our Latin-descended words because our phonology has changed. Same reason Brits pronounce French words incorrectly

Was it an actual mispronunciation or did the typeset just use "j" in place of "i" similar to how some typesets used "f" in the place of "s"?

That’s not an f, it’s a long s

Jesus. Just stop posting.

It's a country named after people, not people named after country.

>Brits pronounce French words incorrectly
they're not speaking French at all.

Nor are modern english speakers speakkng Latin. I'm referring to the way French words are pronounced in British English, such as pronouncing the "T" in the word "fillet." It is normal for us to pronounce Latin words, like "Trojan" or "Caesar," in accordance with modern orthographical rules, rather than the way they were pronounced by native speakers

You do realise that the 't' was originally pronounced, right? The French have had their fair share of pronunciation changes.

Good question. No. It's related to the name of a local Celtic tribe.
