[Ansteorra] Take a moment to look it up (was Pronunciation)

[Miranda of Namron]

     Like any language, there is debate as to the pronunciation in terms of
historical accuracy, but by no means is one source a basis for fact. For
those who are interested the following is a web site all with interest may
find useful. Unlike Mr. Tucker's source, it has a pronunciation more along
the sound of "th" and "z" combined, which is like "ts".  This site has audio
files so you can hear these pronunciations and distinguishes it from the "z"
sound.

   However, I find it necessary to say that insulting the members on this
list is neither helpful nor conducive towards what should be an open
discussion on period Spanish pronunciation.  The assumption made was
assuming that all those who replied did not know what they were talking
about when they may have an extensive background or understanding of Spanish
or its historical context.

Please read it again, 'wolf. All the way through, this time. If you do,
you'll
find that I wasn't picking on the person who asks a question; rather, those
who
rush to post an answer but have nothing helpful to say - either because they
didn't take a moment to look up the answer, or because - in their haste? -
they
missed the point of the original post entirely. Like you, I was raised to
believe that ignorance is curable, and that the best way to do that is to
ask questions.

Yours,
Michael Silverhands
