One of my "favorites" (ugh) is how NEARLY EVERYONE gets the name of the Lord of the Underworld FLAT WRONG.

Two spellings: Mictlanteuctli or Mictlantecuhtli.

People will say "meek-tlan-TEUWK-tlee" or "meek-tlan-teh-KOO-tlee."

Ugh. No.

It's "meek-tlahn-TEKW-tlee."

uc/cuh = /kw/

Hard, yes.

Since it's Indigenous People's Day, the Cherokee word for raccoon is gvtli, you pronounce it like guh-tlee.

Quería seguir con Metal en español, pero ellas merecen un puesto importante, tenemos grandes voces femeninas en el metal, y hay que darles su lugar.

Nahuatl has so many descriptive and evocative words. I'm going to post one every day because Nahuatl is a criminally underappreciated language. One such word is:

ācotoctli
(ah-ko-TOKH-tlee)

It means "pools that remain in a dry riverbed during a drought".

Chalchiuhtlicueyecatl

“Chal-CHEE-ooh-tlee-quay”
Is the Spanish pronunciation but you can use it for the English too.

Chalchiuhtlicue was the Aztec goddess of water, rivers, and oceans.
