@DofSproductions I don't wish to be rude, but unfortunately you actually are wrong. She did pronounce it correctly. It's "jewts" in English and Jyder (pronounced "yooder") in Danish, but she isn't speaking Danish.
In English the place where the Jutes are from is called "Jutland" (to rhyme with "but" NOT "boot") and in Danish it is "Jylland" (pronounced "yoolan").

It's pronounced as Yutes not Jewts, correct me if I'm wrong but j in skandinaivan languages is pronounced as a y.

Besides , Old English provides a more easier way of pronouncing words than modern English.
"wyÞ (with) (TH=Þ , unvoiced)"
No matter what , vowels do not change/loose pronunciation in a word.
Consonants never become silent.
It's the perfect language.

@Xan81 Sorry if I appeared to be a racist.
What I meant , was that a new English should be made from Old English , but without the foreign influence.
If you actually take a look at the English language , a lot of words have must be studied before someone can just read from the letter order.
For example , the word "lingerie" is not pronounced the way it should sound.That was the only word I could think on the top of my head , but there are more words like that.

Incredibly poor attempt to educate or entertain anyone of even mediocre intelligence. The sound levels are all over the map while the clownish buffoonery remains at a low ebb.
Conceptually, this would work if rendered with a more serious approach to production.

i agree. I want to kick her in the head. Which probably isnt the response she was looking for.
