Lay-tech or Lah-tech is how I've been told it's pronounced, don't ask which one is correct, I don't know

IIRC its creator said it's Lay-tech

It's "Lay" because it's borrowed from / referencing "lay person" i.e. not a member of the (TeX) priesthood.

The last sound being one that afaik doesn't exist in English. It's like the j in jalapeño but waaay guttural. It's the Greek letter χ.
