The word was "orðabók", which I know, so I put "Icelandic", which was marked 
correct. However, the pronunciation was /ˈoːɹa.pɔːuk/, which does not have /
ð/. Icelandic has the letter 'ð' pronounced /ð/, but in Faroese, 'ð' can be 
pronounced several ways, including nothing, none of which is /ð/. I checked 
Wiktionary and the pronunciation is indeed Faroese.
