    That depends on the language used, in English it's Meekt-lahn-te-koot-ly.
    I've seen much more difficult names in the net, even in here!

    Guidelines for Nahuatl pronunciation:
    In Nahuatl words, the penultimate syllable is always stressed.

    c + a/o c as in can
    c + i/e as in cease
    ch as in church
    chu like ckw in backward
    cu before vowels like qu in quick
    hu like w in walk
    tl like tl in settler
    tz like ts in cats
    u + a,e,i,o, like w
    uh like wh in wheel
    x sh as in sheep
    z + a/o like s in sock


    TL: at the end of a word should just pronounce the T---the L should be silent.
    Hu : should be pronounced as a W.
    LL: should NOT be pronounced as a Spanish double L, use the English pronunciation of LL.
    X: should be pronounced as SH. MEXICA is MeSHika.
