The word is spelled Ásatrú in Icelandic, and so its pronounced Aw-sah-troo.

Subject: [norse_course] Pronounciation


Something lately has been driving me crazy. Mostly
it's the conflict of several people who think they
know what they're talking about.

Since there are a great many Asatruar here, I was
wondering if the list owners, and possibly other
knowledgable individuals would know the proper
pronunciation of the work "Asatru" and "Asatruar."

I was under the impression, and I may have just picked
up a bad habit somewhere, that the "A" sounded like
"Ahh"...am I wrong? Or are there certain exceptions?

Thanks for addressing this,

Tom
