how exactly do y’all pronouce axolotl in English?
i don't even bother with the correct pronunciation in nahuatl. i just know them as GUAJOLOTES (if you know El Chapulín Colorado or Cantiflas, you know) and that's what i call them.
EDIT:
in spanish, that X is pronounced as a castillian jota (J). it’s equivalent is the english H. but, technically, that X is more of a SH sound in nahuatl. there’s really no hard X (xk) sound in Spanish. -
