  • I don’t agree with the OP here. Wikipedia does not say to pronounce it like the title of this post says. It says:

    axolotl (/ˈæksəlɒtəl/ ⓘ; from Classical Nahuatl: āxōlōtl [aːˈʃoːloːtɬ] ⓘ)

    And it has recordings to listen to. The first one here is how I have heard it pronounced. The second one does not say it’s an alternate pronunciation, it is saying āxōlōtl is the word that the English word axolotl is derived from and then says how to pronounce that. Unless you’re trying to pronounce it in the original Classical Nahuatl, then the first one is fine.

    If you thought it was pronounced like this, then you’re saying it fine.
