im just wondering how you folks say it.
according to Pantheon.org aka encyclopedia mythica, it's:
Quetzalcoatl {keht-sahl-coh'-atl}

personally, i've always said it
Kweh-zack-oh-tull
I make the first T and first L silent

ketzlco-atl. IE, the accurate way.

{keht-sahl-coh'-atl} moi aussi.

Quez. is the name of an Aztec? serpent god. While watching a program about it (a long time ago) the narrator pronounces it this way. I'm not saying that "because the TV said it, it must be true," but those Discovery channel programs can usually be trusted to maintain a certain degree of accuracy concerning such things.

"Sum-sum" or if I feel dirty, "Mockety rackety pick-pocket".

Before you try to pronounce it, you have to spell it right first. It's "Quezacotl". So I pronounce it QWEZ-A-COT-L.

"ket-suh-koht-l"

or "ket-suh-coh-ah-tull"

You know... whichever.

I use the correct pronounciation.
Likewise.
But then I learned the name and pronunciation from an expert who was teaching us about the culture. I never had to try and figure it out from the spelling.

You can tell if someone has heard it by how they pronounce the {coh'}.

I don't pronounce it the correct way, because the correct somehow sucks. I pronounce it 'Kwez-za-cult'.

Six of one, Half of the other. I'm usually too lazy to include full pronunciation markers.

I always just call him the Q-Man when talking about him. I try to hide the fact that I can't pronounce anything by using false hiposity.

When I read its name it's just like "kwez" and then into a slur of random sounds in my head.

It's spelled like the Aztec's god's name so I pronounce it the same way my history teacher pronounced it.
