Icelandic Pronunciation
Hello,
I'm learning Icelandic right now and I have a few questions concerning the pronunciation.
1.) ð and þ
Are these two completely the same as the Englisch th in "the" (ð) and in "think" (þ). I've heard it is approximately the same, but the tongue is placed a tiny bit differently. Is that correct?
2.) Double Consonants
So, the Double-L becomes "tl". And if it is in the middle of two vowels, the L sound is voiced and at the end it is voiceless. Is that true?
If yes. Do those rules apply to other double consonannts like "nn" too? So it wouldn't be pronounced "hann" but rather "hatn" with kind of a voiceless n and the end like in "vatn"? Speaking of which: Is the "tn" at the end of "vatn" a glottal stop or is it different?
Thanks in advance. :)
