I just checked a site about Latin pronunciation, and it said "c" is always hard.
Hello, Kickero!


wwh, tell me it ain't true!

I can't believe Cicero would be pronounced: Kicker-oh.

Isn't there some rule somewhere about the letter 'c'? At least in French the 'c' before a, o and u, I believe, is hard and soft in front of 'i' and 'e.' You have to modify the 'c' before a, o, and u to soften them by using a special accent. Is there a similar rule in Latin? It seems 'c' before 'i' in Cicero must be soft and not hard simple because I've never heard anyone say Kickero. Please, Latin lovers, speak out on this!
