Nammasj and Gådoktjåhkkå (II) and the Rapa

Would you please give us a pronunciation guide for these? I'm thinking the 'j's are pronounced with a 'y'?

'j' as 'y' hmm, y-ish maybe, but it really depends on how you would pronounce 'y' .. since this is different even through the so called English speaking world.

The 'å' is in between 'a' and 'o', more o-ish, but not quite.
 
I'm thinking... Na-mas'-yah and Gah-dok-tyah'-kah?

Hehe, I've heard a picture is worth a thousand words... In this case, I can't pronounce two of them!

'yah' as strong as in the Canadian 'eh'?, no certainly not ;)

And it is closer to 'Go-dokt-yokka', but not really ... Also, one spelling was Sami, one spelling was Swedish, so I mixed the two which does not make it easier for you ;)
