That's how some people with a thick accent mispronounce it.

According to the vast majority of English words, Lay-con IS pronouncing it as written. a single "k" generally means a long "A",(AY). I'm not sure what your interpretation is (your "la-kon" doesn't exactly break down the pronunciation very well), but if it's a short A, you'd be more likely to expect it to be spelled Lakkon, or Lackon.
SOWD Kroogur, you mean, right?
Yup. English is a pretty dumb language, overall, but it still has rules, and Lakon is "Lay-Kon" while Lakkon is "Lah-Kon".
Wait... do you mean American English, British English, Saxon English, Norman English or Ancient Aenglalish?
?
What's the difference with the above pronunciations? Can you lay it out phonetically in a different way? I think the "lah" seems clear enough. What's "LA-kon" to you? When I read both of those, I say it the exact same in my head.
Lah, is being pronounced like "baa" (a sheep), or "Fa" like "falalalalala", right? Because that would then be Lakkon.
Edit: Maybe the double K is a bad example, as I can't even think of an English word with KK . But I guess you're saying you think it would be a long A? Which does have precedent with a double vowel, e.g. Fragging, Gagging, etc... Still, looking at the fictional word Lakkon does scream to me "short a!".
Edit #2: Trekking! But still doesn't really help in this example.

I think that's the Fonz.
LA-kon: "la as in "lap", with the emphasis on the first syllable. Lakkon.
Lah-kon: "lah" rhymes with baa (sheep), equal emphasis on both syllables. Laakon.
LAY-kon: "lay" rhymes with "play", emphasis on first syllable: Lakon.
Luh-KON: "luh" as in "lust", emphasis on second syllable: L'kon.
How would you say that in Klingon?
la'-(hock a loogie)
Lakon is pronounced with a passive y, with the y sounding more of an e. Kon like con, like in conference.
Lae-kon/Lay-kon ==> Lakon.
Hopefully this clears things up.
WHy is that? That sounds like some serious unnecesssary accent issue.
La = La
Just like how it's written. There's no silent or hidden "y" in "La"
La kon = pronounced as = La kon .
Same with Aisling = Ai - sling
No hidden pronunciation or letters that aren't there.
Let me teach you how to pronounce the word "Car"
Car = Ca - r
Never forget to pronounce the R in the end. Something which many people in Britain find difficult to do.
There would be countless accents in the different planets and star systems of the Core Systems and the Colonia Region.

No, because it's not English. It's Irish. So it's "Ashling".

Actually the r indicates that the a should be drawn out, like "cahh", as opposed to contracted, like the "a" in "map".
If we're talking about accents messing up pronunciation, ask an American to say "marry merry mary". They'll end up saying "merry merry merry". I'm talking about a generic American accent here, I'm sure a Louisiana drawl will produce three distinct words there.
EDIT: and while we're talking about pronouncing letters, you know "herb" has an "h" at the start right?

Are you implying that germans are klingons?
Ah, now not exactly but maybe they both have a common root in the indo-germanic language family? I think I am allowed to make jokes as beeing austrian.
