You'll note that only the BBC tried. U.S. agencies basically cut it back to "a volcano in Iceland."

The total number of world speakers of Icelandic is about the same as the number of people living in the Charleston Metro area. And no, not the Charleston you're thinking of. That's got twice as many people in it. I mean Charleston, West Virginia. This clip is like twins making fun of children in their primary school for not understanding the insane language they made up for themselves-- except instead of two people those twins are seven hundredths of a person.

Hey! I'm going to Iceland in a few months. I'll update with how much and in what manner they laughed at my sorry attempts to speak their language.

I could listen to that sound clip a hundred times and still not be able to say it right.

What an ash hole

Weeeeeellll gollllll-eeeee these Brits can't even pronounce glacier, why expect them to say Eyjafjallajokull?
