Japonica

[Ruth Flatscher]

still different: at university we were taught to pronounce latin j like
German j - something like that half-consonant that comes between the k and
the u when you pronounce English/American q...
which, in my view, may come close, since in classical Latin literature they
use an (Italian/Spanish) i instead of j.
have a pronouncedly good day,
Ruth
