Hehe. Very nice! I had hoped to hear it with this particular pronunciation once. Now I have. :-) Hmm, what would this language be called? Let's see... Since the archipelago is surely called 'Ørísli' (f.pl.), the langauge is probably 'Øríslan lyng' (f.sg.). Or do you have other proposals? **Henrik PS: I cannot promise that my GMP applies perfectly for this particular language, but it seems ok to use it for getting an initial feel. :-)
