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]

You shouldn't try to imitate an accent, you will have an accent when pronouncing it and spoken in your native tongue it would be galarhorn because yallarhawrn will be awkward to be spoken for some people. This is like saying Karaoke with Japanese accents, which not only sounds retarded it isn't even necessary. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uEekQYXh5vg Here is the way you are supposed to say it, but you will sound retarded when doing so.

I guarantee that the vast majority of words you say in your daily life, you pronounce differently than the first people to use those words. So tell me why you shouldn't correct yourself.
