    How else would it be pronounced, how is the anglicised pronunciation?

    (Serious question by a non native speaker)

      “Anglicized” is probably not the best way to think about it. The Latin letter “v” was pronounced “w” through the classical period, but had shifted to β or v (fricative) by the third century, long before English existed. V was pronounced v (voiced labiodental fricative) for many centuries. And though we do tend to give the classical period a lot of prestige, it was just one phase for Latin.

        Funny part is, the same shift happened in a lot of languages. I think some more obvious examples are modern German and Polish, where letter W corresponds to the V sound. Although I believe that the shift happened in German and then Polish borrowed the letter with the new pronunciation.

          in swedish i think we’ve just gone from “fv” to “v”, somehow

          very common example since it’s in old surnames: hufvud > huvud
