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?

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. :-)
