Latin being a "dead" (not spoken) language, there is a lot of controversy about the pronunciation. The pronunciation rules are based upon Italian although there is the so called "restituta" which favors some modifications of the a.m. pronunciation. As for I favor the pronunciation pull-hehrr with accent on pull and the r rolled. For the other words please consult the site already suggested by athene.
