How do you pronounce Cthulhu?

The pronunciation of "Cthulhu" is a bit tricky, as it's based on a fictional language created by H.P. Lovecraft.

The most common and accepted pronunciation is:

* Kuh-THOO-loo

Here's a breakdown:

* Kuh: Like the "cuh" in "cup"

* THOO: Like the "thoo" in "tooth"

* loo: Like the "loo" in "loop"

Important Notes:

* No "l" sound at the end: The final "u" is silent.

* Emphasize the "THOO" sound: This is the most distinctive part of the pronunciation.

You might also hear it pronounced with a more guttural sound for the "Kuh" and "THOO", but the above is the most widely accepted.
