Eyjyafjallajokull

[shortindiangirl]

I have gained many hours of amusement at the pronunciation of this Icelandic diva:

Eyya-fyelaya-ukull

In true Danish / Icelandic style, most of the syllables are swallowed, or so subtly enunced that they are lost.http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Eyjafjallajökull.

Interesting! I have forgotten how much phonetics and languages fascinate me.
The K sounds interesting too. I wonder if is the real sound or effects of the microphone.

*Looks back for Bjork's songs in Icelancic.*

Peace!
