How does that work in the language itself? In English people say "latin-ecks". In Spanish do people say "latin-equis"?

It doesn’t. It’s a written-only solution. If you listen to a speech from someone who uses the latinx you will notice they don’t even try to speak it, and they just go with the “latino and latina”.
