    My scandinavian friends call it yay-va-script.
    • Hansi 12y ago
      I'm Icelandic and we use yava-script, I find it hard to figure out how yay-va sounds.
      • JacksonGariety 12y ago
        YAY as opposed to nay VUH as in vagina SCRIPT pronounced normally

        Perhaps it would help to see that pronunciation rendered in IPA for English [0]: /ˈiːeɪ.və.ˌskrɪpt/ Note particularly the italicized phoneme (eɪ), which corresponds to the "long A" sound in English, e.g., the 'a' in 'face'. I'm unfamiliar with the Icelandic language, but according to the English equivalents listed on Wikipedia's page on IPA for Icelandic [1], the corresponding phoneme in that language appears to be ei.

      I'm from Scandinavia and have never heard anyone pronounce it like that.
