In reply to Cody Hopkins. It is always a vowel.

In reply to Karl. Exactly what I've been wondering. Can't seem to find that anywhere.

So you explained how to pronounce æ, å, and ø, but what are their names? What do you call each of those vowels?

In reply to RayB. That's Icelandic. Maybe also Faroese although I'm not sure.

I thought there was a letter shaped like a d with a cross on top?? Pronounced “eth”

In reply to Elisabeth. Is it always a vowel or does it just pretend sometimes?

‘Y’ is also a vowel in Norwegian, hence we have nine vowels, not eight.

Thanks for an interesting read!
