Lisping Castilians would say mathYELL, but most Spanish speakers would say massYELL. Not sure about Portuguese speakers, probably massYELL again.

Its pronounced 'Ma-si-euw' ('euw' sounds like 'ale' but with a 'W' in place of the 'L') in Portuguese.

Of course! I should have remembered from the name of Gilberto Gil, and the pronunciation of carnaval.
