Outlander Gaelic

[freep]

My wife is Norwegian and she pronounces the word as vick-ing with a 'V'. Swedish, Norwegian and Danish pronunciations can be heard here: http://forvo.com/word/viking/

Listened to all the forvo pronunciations and you are correct. It is a 'v' sound, however, the whole word is pronounced not in the US English manner of VY-king but more like veek-ING, which to my ear on a casual listen causes it to sound like week-ING.

I stand corrected.
