TheWoWDBGjalerbron is a zone within Howling Fjord, (along with the Fjord itself) that is often horribly mispronounced. However, Blizzard included a quest just to explain how to say it!
It is called Dealing with Gjalerbron and given by Captain Adams, who says that the Vrykul;
"call the place Gjalerbron, though you'd pronounce the 'Gj' as if it were an 'Sh'. Odd creatures."The horde equivalent of that quest is Dealing with Gjalerbron offered by Chieftain Ashtotem though the explanation of how to pronounce Gjalerbron is not given in that quest log.

StorylineHowling Fjord, step 152 of 162
Rewards10g 50s, 4,100 XP
Description
These plans detail an imminent attack upon Westguard Keep. It would appear that the frost wyrm, Glacion, who circles overhead is to be used for the offensive. Surely Mage-Lieutenant Malister would be of some assistance in this matter. Deliver the plans to him at the keep to the south.

Pins are the quest’s own POI points from the current retail client, projected onto the in-game zone map. The game marks one blob as the quest’s turn-in; the rest are objective areas. Points that fall outside a map’s window are dropped rather than guessed at.
