Actually, though I have alays pronounced dulce as dullchay, I believe originally Latin pronunication would have been dulkay

Can't corroborate this any, but I had a conversation with a latin teacher (an old friend) some years ago who told me that the phrase Veni Vidi Vici, would actually have been pronounced Weni wedi wiki

May have misremembered .... but I think that's the case.
