You're absolutuely right, but I wanted the modern ideas about its pronunciation. My fault for not being more specific.

The truth is that nobody actually knows the correct way to pronounce it. All the people who spoke that language are long gone now so we have no way of knowing for sure if the most widely accepted way of pronouncing it is actually correct.

My English teacher used to pronounce it as "baywulf" so i guess that's the right way to pronounce it.
good luck

huh i think he means more like... pronunciation for the story in general, all of the words and stuff...
i'd suggest typing them in dictionary.com or something and hopefully the phonetic stuff comes up...

Why not check the preview for the movie on youtube. Unless of course you think they mispronounce it there.
