Icelandic Pronunciation

Via Cath Rule

A little guide to Icelandic language for travellers to the country.

e.g.

Icelandic pronunciation guide

The Icelandic alphabet is made up of 32 letters, including three letters English speakers don’t use: þ,ð, and æ.
Þ pronounced like “th” is called “thorn”
Ð is also pronounced like a soft “th” and is called “eth”
Æ is pronounced like “eye” and is called “ash”

I'm going to try to get myself skilled up in the basics before my next trip to Iceland.
