I asked this question already here, someone suggested to move the discussion to this website. I hope some of the Italian users (at least) can help me out with this curiosity.

I have always been used to the Italian pronunciation "de ics" of the differential dx. In principle there would be nothing wrong in saying "di ics", as the letter "d" is pronunced "di", but then why do Italian mathematicians say "de ics"?

  Qualcuno asserisce che la “d corsiva” della derivata parziale è in realtà la forma minuscola corsiva della corrispondente lettera cirillica, д, che in russo si legge appunto “de”. E di lì l'uso sarebbe passato indebitamente anche alle d di dx. Chissà.

I've always heard it said "di ics" (/di 'iks/) in Italian. I've never heard the pronunciation "de ics", maybe it is a regional pronunciation (in some regions the preposition "di" is pronounced "de").

Alternatively it could be an influence of the English pronunciation (/de 'εks/), since English is commonly used by the professors to discuss math with their foreign colleagues.

I am from the Città metropolitana di Venezia and I studied math in Pisa.
