I can't find anything IPA-ish on the Net, but I think the Icelandic
vowels work like this:
a, e, i, o, u = [a], [E], [I], [O], [2].
These are lengthened when followed by a single consonant.
á, é, í, ó, ú = [au], [je], [i], [o] or [ou], [U] or [u].
Note that accents are not written before ng/nk.
y and ý are like i and í.
ö is some central vowel, but I can't tell which, possibly rounded.
ei is [eI], æ is [aI], au is [OI], ey is [eI] according to some but something
[O]-ish according to others.
