The langspil is a traditional Icelandic musical instrument, whose name can be translated into English as “long instrument.” Its Icelandic pronunciation is [ˈlauŋkˌspɪːl̥], which can be approximated as “loung-spil” (the “ou” in first element is the same as in “bound” and the “g” is pronounced as a “k”) for those unfamiliar with the International Phonetic Alphabet.
