Igitur quae nationes sunt inter axis meridiani cardinem ab septentrionalis medio positae, uti in diagrammate musico medianae vocis habent sonitum in sermone; quaeque progredientibus ad septentrionem sunt nationes, quod altiores habent distantias mundi, spiritus vocis habentes umore repulsos ad hypatas et proslambanomenos, a natura rerum sonitu graviore coguntur uti; eadem ratione medio progredientibus ad meridiem gentes paranetarum <netarum>que acutissimam sonitus vocis perficiunt tenuitatem.
Therefore the nations which are placed in the middle between the equator and the north pole have in conversation a middle accent corresponding to the musical diagram; the nations as we move northwards, because they have a greater distance between them and the universe, have a vocal accent driven by greater moisture to the hypatae and proslambanomenoe and are compelled by Nature to use a deeper voice; in the same way as we progress from the middle to the south, the nations have a very shrill accent corresponding to the paranetae and netae.
