ArchivesRe: Pronouncing...
in reply to a message by Verity
Norwegian letters is pronounced different than in English, but I'll try to explain...
Thorliff (or Thorleif in Norwegian): thor is pronounced like the "tor" in storm (or like the 'to' in town + 'r' in an american accent), and leif is pronounced like the word lay + an f. If you find the 'liff' to odd to pronounce, can you just say leaf.
Hakkan (or Haakon in Norwegian): Haa is pronounced as "ho" in the word honey, and Kon as "Con" in the female name Constance or the male name Connor.
I hope this helps you!!
