After someone mentioned that the word "axolotl" is from Nahuatl (obvious in hindsight), I have a hard time mentally pronouncing the first consonant as "ks" and not ʃ.
@starkatt and I have a hard time pronouncing the "tl" as /təl/ instead of /tɬ/
@lizardsquid @starkatt Wait, is it not pronounced /tɬ/?
@Felthry @starkatt it is!
but if you say /aʃolotɬ/ to someone they usually just look confused
@lizardsquid @starkatt Compromise: /æksolɔtɬ/

@lizardsquid @starkatt Wait, is it not pronounced /tɬ/?
