How Do You Spell CHAUEZ?
Pronunciation: [t͡ʃˈɔːɛz] (IPA) 
The spelling of the word "Chauez" may seem strange to non-Spanish speakers, but it is actually a common Hispanic surname. The correct pronunciation would be /ʧa'weθ/. The "c" in Spanish is pronounced like the English "ch" sound, the "h" is silent, and the "z" is pronounced like the English "th." So, phonetically, this surname would be spelled "Chávez" in Spanish, but the simplified spelling is often used in English-speaking countries.
