Mena: I think if linguist want to find out how Ancient languages sounded like they should travel to Africa and study the different African tribes who traveled the world from Egypt to create civilization all over the world. I think Latin sounded like the Kongo and Lingala languages. According to Mezitu Josias book Les Bantous Racines du Latin the Kongo and Lingala languages have great similarity to Latin.

I doubt these languages were spoken as the speakers in this video. The Roman language sounded like Italian instead of Latin. The Egyptian was more Arabic than Egyptian.
Just because a person speaks a language in the accent associated with their own lanuage does not reflect the ancient language they are attempting to speak.
