Nah, that's the right way. The "t" isn't silent, due to it showing up before the apostrophe. Same thing applies to T'Chaka, W'Kabi, S'Yan, M'Baku, etc.

A few comics back in the day said that the T is silent, but that makes zero sense. My last name has a silent consonant but it's within one word with no grammatical break. If there was an apostrophe before it, it would be pronounced each time.
In Africa it's read all together, names like M'bo, M'bemba,etc. that's why I'm saying it should be read tchalla. :jbhmm:

MJB comes off as douche in his interviews and he's said some some off things about BW but he's a great actor and I'm sure he'll be good in his role.

From my experience (my fam and I are African), the "M" in M'bo or "M'Bemba would be pronounced but (sometimes very) briefly, rather than being emphasized. Hence why it may sound like it reads all together. Similar rule would applied to T'Challa, W'Kabi, etc.

For the T in T'Challa to be silent, his name would have to be written as Tchalla. The apostrophe after that first "T" means that the "T" has to be pronounced.
