"here" = Germany, yes? Outside of poor ignorant fools who pronounce
"LaTeX" as if it were the word "latex" (i.e. /'lej.tEks/ vel sim) until
properly edjumacated, the usual Americanized pronunciations of
TeX and LaTeX are /tEk/ and /la'tEk/. Some folks do pronounce the /x/, but
most substitute a /k/.

Yes, though note that the 'a' is not subscripted like the 'e' when LaTeX
is properly typeset.
