Bluetooth name spoken in original?
(1/1)
RoGeorge:
If Bluetooth Wireless got its name after a Viking https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Harald_Bluetooth, then how would "blue tooth" be spelled and pronounced in the native language of the Vikings?
Found this page https://forvo.com/word/bl%C3%A5tand/#sv with different pronunciations of "Blåtand" in Danish and Swedish, and https://www.howtopronounce.com/bl%C3%A1t%C7%ABnn for Icelandic, but I don't know much about vikings (or if that's the right word to lookup) and what language do they spoke 1000+ years ago, so which spelling/pronunciation would be closer to how the king himself would say "Bluetooth"? :)
