Any place name with six syllables is going to have some of them blurred together by local people who need to refer to it frequently enough. They way the people who live nearby pronounce it then becomes the correct version, although sometimes this can be reversed by incomers.

Is that its name? no wonder why the volcano is pissed.

@nathanjamesbaker This is the correct pronounciation, in the video

@slevaa Actually, Eyjafjallajökull is not that hard to spell for Icelanders. It is just three common words combined to one.

[chibisephi]

I can pronounce it perfectly until the very last tongue sound my mouth just does not want to do it.

@Zeldakitteh Typing and pronouncing are not the same thing..

Im sure many people from Iceland have issues with spelling Eyjafjallajøkull, but i doubt anyone has a problem pronouncing it..

[Zeldakitteh]

@slevaa Being from Iceland does not necessarily make it easy, I believe.

Loads of people from England really have issues with their typing...:

"Could of", "Their stupid", "Your a idiot"

... Seriously. D=
