thanks :)
This is a bit difficult, as the phonetic values in english aren't terribly stable (fish can be spelled "ghoti" and all that)
in all these, roll on the r's and try gutturalizing a bit.
Sigvald Mjølkke: seeg-vald Mjil-ke (the "i" in Mjølke is pronounced as in "sir")
Reidar Engnestangen: Ray-dar Eng-nay-stahng-'n (the ah in the "stang" syllable is an [a:] a long a pronounced similar to the 'ea' diphtong in "heart"
Jorgan Skaardal (should perhaps be "Jørgen" the name of one of my uncles): Yor-gahn Skor-dahl
Arvor Troelsen: Ar-vor Trou-el-sen (english has a real deficiency i 'o' sounds....
Gjaeving Asbjornsson (the High King) (I'll take the liberty of making this one Gjæving Asbjørnsson): Gje-veeng As-bjirns-son
Hope that helped a bit :)
