how did the I becone the Z and the Z became the I? why are half the letters mirrored frim archaic latin to roman?
i wasn't an i. It was a different sound represented by a sign that resembled i.
Huh? This hasn't got anything to do with sounds, funny enough.
Looks like there was a moment between Archaic Latin and Roman when a lot of letters got turned around
I like how modern is just sans serif Roman (+a few letters).
i don't understand your comment.
how modern is modern latin?
The Roman font is serif, the Modern Latin font is sans serif
it was just a silly observation about font choices.
