It's not pronounced "Gal-ar-horn", it's a Scandinavian word and is pronounced "Yahl-lar-hawrn".
Gjallarhorn is Heimdall's Horn, used to warn the Gods of Ragnarok.
[b]Overall Edit[/b]: It's amazing all the hate this post got. Colourful crowd and language used, as well as people both thanking and hating me for making this a PSA. Keep it trending, the more people that know what it's properly called, the better. People sound really ignorant when they're mispronouncing it like they are.
Think of it this way, as pointed out by a poster... we don't say 'F-jords', I hear everyone say 'Yords' when it comes to an actual Fjord. Why in any case would people really think it's pronounced Gallarhorn...

[quote]Screw the people who say it doesn't matter or who cares. They're just uneducated pricks. I'm always happy when someone corrects my pronunciation so I don't make a fool of myself. You've been saying it wrong. Suck it up and correct yourself.[/quote]

Dude... stfu... It's a game it's a little much to call someone an ignorant prick because they pronounce the name of a rocket launcher wrong. Get off your high horse and just play the damn game.

It's the G-Spot, because I still can't find it!

I kind of thought it was "Ballerhorn" myself. That certainly seems to be its acknowledged name among the 1337-ubar set. ;^D

A post i put up just the other day. The G is silent. plus 16 wolves on the Gjallar. and it was crafted from the guardians who fell during the twilight gap.

Everyone needs to stop being ignorant. Accept the proper pronunciation. Small minded idiots. Hyal-lar-horn.

The correct pronunciation is "idgaf"

The beautiful thing about language is how flexible it is! Common usage dictates that today's slang becomes tomorrow's proper grammar. We're going to pronounce it however we want.

What? its Ghorn. this aint scandanavia or nerweign. this is mercia and we call it GALLLLLLAHORN or the G-Horn.

Thanks for the info! I knew the j sounds more like y, but I had no idea the G was silent.
-
I am norwegian, and I agree with you! The g is silent:)
-
I'll pronounce it as galahorn and you can't do anything about it
-
Thanks for making this post. I don't like sounding like an idiot

How about I call it "your mother" because it plays hard to get but once you have it, it's so effortlessly easy to use and always leaves you satisfied.....???
