      In Flanders (at least where I’m at) we usually say I grec, but when doing math or reciting the alphabet, we say IJ.

          We say it just like I wrote it, as one word. Although some people use Griekse IJ, which is also two words.

      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.

      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.
