Pronunciation
[edit]- (Classical Latin) IPA(key): /anˈdreː.aːs/, [än̪ˈd̪reːäːs̠] or IPA(key): /ˈan.dre.aːs/, [ˈän̪d̪reäːs̠]
- (modern Italianate Ecclesiastical) IPA(key): /anˈdre.as/, [än̪ˈd̪rɛːäs] or IPA(key): /ˈan.dre.as/, [ˈän̪d̪reäs]
- Note: the originally short vowel always scans long in late dactylic poetry to fit the meter.[1] This pronunciation likely gained currency under the Empire in order to imitate Greek stress, parallel to -ia, and is the only one reflected by Romance.
