I'm used to modern Icelandic pronouncing everything spelled "LL" like it was "TL" (Egill SkaTLgimsson, ThingveTLir, VatnaJöküTL... etc)...

Do other Norse languages, Swedish, Danish, NYnorsk etc have the same mannerism? I'm always troubled when I see that doulble L spelling in Sc andinavian languages because I'm never sure how to pronounce it.
Losers. The correct way to pronounce LL is to drag up a larynx load of phlegm and spray it over your victim.

That's the welsh way and very satisfying it is too. Llangollen. awesome :drool: :drool:
