Oh yes, Icelandic accents are very interesting. My OC Sören has one (though his English is very good, and he lives outside of Iceland in most of the multiverse). He sounds kind of like a male version of this (it's a video of Björk speaking).

Icelandic is another brain-bending language! It's a beautiful language but also very complicated compared to the other Scandinavian languages like Norwegian and Swedish and Danish. It's fascinating to me though to see cognates between English and the other Germanic languages, as well as the cognates between the Scandinavian languages and other language families, like "jeg" (for "I" in Norwegian) and "Ég" (for "I" in Icelandic) is related to "ego" in Latin.

All the "w" and "z"s in Polish is intimidating to an English speaker, yes. Welsh is another one of those languages that terrifies me and makes very liberal use of the letter w. :P
