    Latin 'et' is pronounced 'eht' and the 't' is strongly emphasised.

    And this is why French people can talk to Romanians... not.

    Modern Italian (Tuscan) is pronounced very differently to Latin.

    And then there was the "great vowel shift"

    BTW: Shakespare rhymes better with an Irish accent than with the one currently used in England. (yes - we speak their language better than they do ! ;) )
