how do you pronounce Y ?
In Flanders (at least where I'm at) we usually say I grec, but when doing math or reciting the alphabet, we say IJ.
Usually same as our compound letter "ij", similar but not quite how you'd prononuce the word "eye". Less commonly it's pronounced as "i-grec" (greek i) or "ypsilon".
i-grec (but English sound for "e" just like in Dutch) is the French way as well.
Sound like igrek.
it's two words ("i graeca")
We say it just like I wrote it, as one word. Although some people use Griekse IJ, which is also two words.
and how would you say xyz ?
XIJZ.
Iks Üpsilon Zett
In Swedish I pronounce y as y. It has its own sound and doesn't sound like another letter, so it can't be written as a combination of other letters.
Üpsilon
