Afrikaans -Gloria Mary. The a in wattle and battle do not sound the same. The a in wattle sound the same as the a in watch, so wattle is a good example. Maybe Americans pronounce it the same way as battle, but I always use and prefer original English, not the American dialect. And Nahuatl only has 4 vowels, which does not include the u. The u in translating classical Nahuatl to Roman script was added by the Spanish, since that sound does not occur in the language.

So whenever a u is in a word, it is not pronounced as such, but usually a part of the letter that precedes or follows it. In the case of quatl, that translates to a pronunciation of katl, not kwatl, like I hear a lot of people say it's how everyone chooses to pronounce Tequatl: it's not Tekwatl, but Tekatl. For it to be Tekwatl, it would have to be written as Tecuatl instead of Tequatl. So silent might not have been the right choice of words, it is still erroneous to think it's an actually pronounced vowel in Nahuatl.

But in effect, at least when it comes to the quatl part of the word, it is very much silent. No, you are incorrect. That only applies before front vowels, however. In my dialect, the vowel in "wattle" is pretty far back so I wouldn't say either word really matches the more central open vowel I'd expect to find in -quatl.
