      Generally English first language speakers say sequel while everyone else spells it out.

      I’m the head of IT for my company and it’s S-Q-L and I’m a native speaker.

      It’s not a grammatically correct pronunciation at all (which is why it seems like non-native English tends to not say “Sequel”) and even MySQL documentation specifically calls it out and says it’s S-Q-L
