How to Pronounce the Most Important Latin Phrase of Our Time
The phrase is:
Quis custodiet ipsos custodes?
In English it means; “Who will guard the guards?”
And here is the pronounciation. I can’t guarantee that it is correct but it was suggested by my friend who majored in Latin so it’s the best we can hope for:
Kwis kus-tow-de-at ip-soos kus-tow-des
