From Wikipedia:

LaTeX (/ˈlɑːtɛx/ LAH-tekh or /ˈleɪtɛx/ LAY-tekh; a shortening of Lamport TeX) is a document preparation system. [...]

and in a more detailed section, Pronouncing and writing "LaTeX":

[...] TeX's creator Donald Knuth promotes a pronunciation of /tɛx/ (tekh) (that is, with a voiceless velar fricative as in Modern Greek, similar to the ch in loch). Lamport writes "TeX is usually pronounced tech, making lah-teck, lah-teck, and lay-teck the logical choices; but language is not always logical, so lay-tecks is also possible." [...]

I pronounce it lah-teck.
