So it's Icelandic. It's Nordic, and Iceland is very much Nordic. The guy in the video has an extensive explanation of all the history and crap to go along with the pronunciation.
If that's too long for you, then just use Google Translate, set the left side to detect language, type in gjallarhorn and witness the truth.
Edit: to listen to the pronunciation, skip to 3:40.

That's from one webiste. There's one from Google Translate, unless that's unacceptable?

That is a americanized pronunciation, wrong.

And he's still wrong. There were different dialects in the area at the time, he's making it sound like Old Icelandic is and always was the only one. The word originates from Old Norse. He's misinformed and people shouldn't believe everything they read. The 'Gj' together would have given you the 'y' sound that people claim, which is correct. Just like the word 'Asgard' that he makes fun of. The way we hear it is the Old Norse dialect, which is proper for the word. Not Old Icelandic. He doesn't know his history properly and is jumping to assumptions.
