The way the native pronounces it, it sounds like ‘eva-lay-vick’

Eyjafjallajökull has now become the unpronounceable sixteen letter name of the global warming crowd’s antichrist.

The Icelanders love to help people learn the language.It is very difficult. My middle girl is married to an Icelander and she taught herself to speak the language and is so good I have been with her when Icelanders ask what part of Iceland she is from only to learn she is American. They have told her she should teach at the university the language.

I know a few words and it is a tongue twister of a language but more fun to learn than French or Spanish.
