Fans of Lovecraftian lore will enjoy Petra's take on Cthulhu's unique language, taken from clues in the text which combine Greenlandic with middle eastern and Native American linguistic traits. It's a made up language, there is no wrong or right way, the lone exception being the name "Cthulhu" itself:

'In a letter to the amateur writer Duane W. Rimel, dated July 23, 1934, H.P. Lovecraft addresses the issue of how to pronounce the name "Cthulhu."

H.P. Lovecraftwrote:

The name of the hellish entity was invented by beings whose vocal organs were not like man's, hence it has no relation to the human speech equipment. The syllables were determined by a physiological equipment wholly unlike ours, hence could never be uttered perfectly by human throats ... The actual sound -- as nearly as any human organs could imitate it or human letters record it -- may be taken as something like Khlûl'-hloo, with the first syllable pronounced gutturally and very thickly. The u is about like that in full; and the first syllable is not unlike klul in sound, hence the h represents the guttural thickness.'

***For best listening, headphones are recommended for this episode.***

In The Call of Cthulhu Chapter 1, “The Horror in Clay,” Francis Wayland Thurston discovers a cache of unsettling notes, after his great-uncle’s mysterious death.  They describe strange global earthquakes, shared nightmares among artists, and a grotesque clay bas-relief created by a troubled young sculptor. All the fragments point to the same terrifying name—Cthulhu—suggesting an ancient, cosmic entity whose influence seeps into human minds, hinting at a vast, incomprehensible horror awakening beyond reason.
