What is/was the correct pronunciation of Byzantine?
Upvote:-4
I don't know if it is pronounced "Buy-zanteen" or "Biz-anteen".
It is also important to spell it correctly.
When writing about the ancient city state, it should be spelled Byzantine.
But when writing about the middle ages it should be spelled "Byzantine" with quotation marks, as in, for example, "the Eastern Roman or "Byzantine" Empire".
How did the natives of the medieval Empire pronounce Byzantium? They pronounced it "Romania". And I think they pronounced Byzantine "Romaikos".
