The word "axolotl" is pronounced as "AK-suh-lot-uhl" in English. In British English, it is pronounced /ˈæk.sə.lɒt.əl/ and in American English, it is pronounced /ˈæk.sə.lɑː.t̬əl/. The sounds can be broken down as "ak" (as in cat), "suh" (as in above), "lot" (as in sock for UK or father for US), and "uhl" (as in label).
The word originates from the Nahuatl language, where it is pronounced somewhat differently, often noted as "ah-SHO-loht" or with a "tɬ" sound at the end, which is a voiceless alveolar lateral affricate not found in English. This original pronunciation reflects its Aztec roots but in English usage, the more common form is as above.
So for practical English use, "AK-suh-lot-uhl" is the typical and widely accepted pronunciation.
