Eyjafjallaj?kull


Eyjafjallaj?kull. Does that sound familiar? I guess not huh? That’s the Icelandic volcano which has wreaked havoc to air travel in Europe. I wonder if there is another language today with a “?” as a character in its alphabet. I wonder how you pronounce a “?”. I think not many in the western media has worked that one out yet. That is probably why few have heard of it. All we have heard, despite the enormity of the eruption, is the ‘Icelandic Volcano”, not Eyjafjallaj?kull.
