My two cents... First, quoting from: http://www.tex.ac.uk/cgi-bin/texfaq2html?label=TeXpronounce How should I pronounce TeX? The 'X' stands for the lower case Greek letter Chi (the upper-case Greek letter doesn't look in the least like a letter X) and is pronounced by English-speakers either a bit like the 'ch' in the Scots word 'loch' ([x] in the IPA) or like 'k'. It definitely is not pronounced 'ks'. and then quoting from http://www.tex.ac.uk/cgi-bin/texfaq2html?label=latexpronounce How should I pronounce LaTeX(2e)? Lamport never recommended how one should pronounce LaTeX, but a lot of people pronounce it 'Lay TeX' or perhaps 'Lah TeX' (with TeX pronounced as the program itself; see the rules for TeX). It is definitely not to be pronounced in the same way as the rubber-tree gum. The 'epsilon' in 'LaTeX2e' is supposed to be suggestive of a small improvement over the old LaTeX 2.09. Nevertheless, most people pronounce the name as 'LaTeX-two-ee'. and about LyX, I got the tip from someone that as Swede I can just pronounce it as the Swedish word for luxury which happens to be lyx.

Depends on you local dialect.
José says "Licks", I say "Lücks" ("ü" is something like "i" when the lips
are formed for an "u") and Lars something in between.
I guess this covers the whole range ;-)

We really need that .au file ``My name is Matthias Ettrich and
I pronounce LyX LyX.'' I believe that correct pronounciation is
the second one (American-like not Greek-like). After-all we shoot
for higher goal than to be just LaTeX front-end and so the
unnecessary connections to LaTeX are slightly harmfull.
BTW, LaTeX is correctly pronounced [Laitech].
