Pinochet

Non-PRO Spanish Other Names (personal, company) pronounciation
The name has been pronounced in Turkish exactly the way it should've been in French: 'ch' as in 'shoe' and the 't' silent. (And in TV, newspapers, books, too, not only by the 'man in the street'.) But I wonder this is the case in its original language, and would like to get it correct in my translation. (It's especially important to know whether the 't' is pronounced or not, because the suffixes would change accordingly.)

Thank you so much in advance.

... I've no idea about the differences in Chilean Spanish though, could the pronounciation differ according to countries?

"ch" as in "church" pronuntiation, and the "t" is not pronunced.

neutral Juan Pablo Marina : Je suis désolé de vous contredire, mais les Chiliens disent "Shile", comme "she" en anglais. Du coup, peut-être ce n'est pas le cas dans TOUTES les regions...
