Proper pronunciation of "GJALLARHORN"
So some friends and I were discussing the Gjallarhorn last night and we pretty much all pronounced it a different way. Their opinion was that the J is silent and pronounced as a soft H and I feel like they are willfully ignoring the J. When typed into Google Translate it says that Icelandic was detected and it pronounced both the G and the J. (Which I think is a point in my favor btw) However I do not profess to know the Icelandic language so I would like to see how other people pronounce it, therefore I thought I would bring it to the forums. If there is yet another way to pronounce it please feel free to post it in the comments.
=)
Edit: Thanks everyone (well almost) for posting. I don't know much about the Norse mythology being of latin descent, so I really liked hearing from those who are in the know. I also highly enjoyed most of the rest of the answers. It's interesting to see how different peoples interpret/pronounce the same word. If I were going by my own known rules for languages, the "LL" would have been the "Y(ish)" sound. So thanks again for being helpful, this community isn't as bad as a lot of people think. =)
[spoiler]And due to one of the early posts that made us laugh we all have decided to henceforth call it the "Yolohorn" just to be dicks. So thanks for that too. 8D [/spoiler]

Edited by SolarCerberuS: 10/25/2016 1:48:37 AMThe j is pronounced with a sharp y sound like in the word yes with the G always silent preceding a j Yallar-horn

Yea I've always called it "Yahllerhorn" cause that's it's proper Norse pronunciation. Even gotten teased by randoms I've met up with that see a "G" and can't help it I guess lol. What I'm really disappointed in tho is that I'm pretty damn sure the folks at Bungie know this to be true and yet they still had Lord Saladin pronounce it Gallahorn in the story simply cause they didn't wanna be politically incorrect. Bad form Bungie.

3 RepliesYallerhorn is how googles system thinks it's said. But it's not because it's not exactly said how it's spelt. Like some English words. A shortend way to say it is Gatlerhorn. Yes with a T in it. But if u want to really know how to spell it the way it's said is pretty hard to pronounce in their language. It looks like a small word but it's pronounce as like a full sentence. If that makes sense. Their are plenty of websites or YouTube videos showing people saying it the correct way. But Yallerhorn is not one of them

3 RepliesIt's old Norse for "Yelling Horn" and in old Norse the letter "J" sounds like a "Y" so I pronounce it as "Yallarhorn"
