Just start with the goddamn alphabet

@KlimaticEgo It was used in Old English, but as far as I know it fell out of use(along with several other letters) during the shift to Middle English.
Anyway, thank you very much to Mizenki17 for putting together this awesome yet concise summary of Icelandic pronunciation. :)

Wasn't the thorn (þ) used in Old/Middle English?
-
This is really cool! :D
-
@wilderwein that combo is never used in any icelandic word. there are i think two names that have that combo though, and in them it's pronounced like 'sh' in Shirley

L er meira borið fram sem "etl" frekar en "elk" eins og þú sagðir það :)

@wilderwein I think it's kinda like Tjelsí :) then it's tj=ch

@wilderwein I've actually looked it up and I can't find any indication that that exact sound is used in Icelandic. I looked at pronunciation guides for Icelandic that use IPA and cross-referenced them with English and couldn't find it. That being said, ts in vitsmunum ('wit' in english) is pretty damn close.

Nú means 'now' (cf. Im Nu, auf deutsch, bedeutet "in the moment")
Hví means 'why' in Old Icelandic (notice the Germanic *hwī as instrumental of *hwaz (what, who, etc.), which set up the basis for German warum, Old English hwȳ, English why, etc.)
"Af hverju" means 'why' in Modern Icelandic.
