Latinx isn't hard to pronounce, the x as in "equis (𝑥), the algebraic concept" is an e as in egg.

So, what about latine?

[–] gayspacemarxist@hexbear.net 2 points 2 weeks ago

Its equivalent

[–] gay_king_prince_charles@hexbear.net 1 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

Yeah, just like how every other word in Spanish uses /ˈɛks/ to represent ⟨x⟩
