here to pronounce Xochitl Gomez's name properly

[sikViduser]

There are various ways of pronouncing this from classical Nahuatl to more modern dialects to more Spanish influenced versions. You have done none of them here.

[Rime_in_Retrograde]

I knew a girl named Xochitl, she went by "Sochi", but like, as a nickname, which I think was fairly anglicized. I mean, I guess this might be correct-adjacent, depending on where you're from...? But it isn't the (original) Nahuatl pronunciation.

The "X" is like "Sh" and "tl" is actually more like an aspirated "t" sound (to be precise it's called a "voiceless alveolar lateral fricative" and is present in some languages like Nahuatl, Icelandic, Welsh, and others). Anyway, I'm not a linguist. I just recommend checking out a different video for the Nahuatl pronunciation of this name, if that's what your looking for.

*Found one: "Here is what my name, Xochitl, means in Nahuatl” by we are mitú, just google it, should be first result (on Facebook, ugh).

[predators]

the “T” is not silent. The name is Nahuatl and the “tl” is pronounced all the way. If you say “So-cheel” (might as well just say So chill lol), you will likely be corrected right away.

[deljugo]

No y no y no y no. Hay una diferencia entre Sochil y Xóchitl

[OmegaFire]

The X is pronounced like an SH and the TL is a hard sound made by making a tuh sound while your tongue is touching the roof of your mouth. The sound should come from the sides of the tongue with no use of vocal chords

[carlah]

We've always said it as so-chee (short way) or so-chee-till (nahuatl way)..never so-cheel

[acl]

That's definitely not the way to pronounce Xochitl!!!

[Undecidedable]

sho-chee-tl
TL is called a voiceless aveolar lateral affricate and is exactly like LL in welsh.

[jorge]

No así no se pronuncia.
Xo - So
chit - cheet (like in cheetah)
l - l (a bit prolonged L)

[gwen]

nope. it's sho-cheetlh. the tl is a sound that english does not have.

[micak]

i knew a girl with this name but it was spelled "Xochilith" 😂

[shmuelvandercoo]

Thanks for the Genesis length intro dude.

[alanthierseorn]

Pretty sure that with tl, the t isn't silent. it has the tl(almost like a k) click sound if they are not the first 2 letters of the word or name.

[melre]

The tl are not silent in nahuatl it would be xo-chee-tl, like liTTLE

[edgara.]

NO!! primero aprende Español y luego nahuatl, te agradezco el esfuerzo por tratar de decir este nombre, pero incluso en español y aquí en México mucha gente N0 sabe pronunciarlo.

[Puchitosama]

Here to pronounce Xochitl Luna's name 🫡

[imaas]

Damn, didn’t realise you were chitl like that

[angelikalachor]

So I've found some clips with Xochitl Gomez (actress from Doctor Strange), and she says her name so-chee.
