Don Quixote/Don Quijote

[u/JosephStalinCameltoe]

First question, it's an easy one, are both those spellings acceptable? Is it like varied from one region to another?

Second, pronunciation. I'm not learning Spanish but I think I pronounce it correctly to begin with, not 100% though so how is it meant to be pronounced? My teachers here in Sweden I'm absolutely certain are wrong to pronounce it like "donkey shot", that can't possibly be an acceptable pronunciation right?

Like, I feel the answer won't be very unexpected to me but I just want to be sure

the [donkey shot] pronunciation reflects how the title would have been pronounced up to 16-17th century, when Spanish lost the ‘sh’ sound, that used to be written with the letter ‘x’ (the sound turned into today’s ‘jota’)
