Norwegian: Erling (pronunciation)

[EternoBGV]

Hello,

I have questions about the pronunciation of the name Erling as follows:
- Is the e in this name pronounced [æ]?
- Do [r] and [l] in this name merge into the retroflex lateral [ɭ]?

Thank you in advance.

Hello,

The E is pronounced as Æ.

The pronunciation of rl depends on the dialect. The r an l is merged in the East, Trøndelag and the North, but pronounced separately in the West and South.
