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
The way you said you have always said it is the way i have always said it.
I use the correct pronounciation.
I sat something like 'Quet-zah-cot-leh'
I think I've kinda read it wrong in my head and said Quez ~ a ~colt.
Thank Sapphiresea for the Siggy! :kaolove:

ketzlco-atl. IE, the accurate way.
{keht-sahl-coh'-atl} moi aussi.Originally Posted by Ryushikaze
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.
Brian: "If I remember correctly, this is the Physics Department."
Chris: "That would explain all the gravity."
"Sum-sum" or if I feel dirty, "Mockety rackety pick-pocket".

I named him "Valdemort" before..
Not sure why. I don't even like Harry Potter. o.0
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.
Thank you Hysterian!

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'}.
