Explanation

SQL was originally called SEQUEL (Structured English Query Language), emphasizing that it was designed to be readable like English. The 'E' stands for English. When the name was shortened to SQL due to trademark issues, the pronunciation 'sequel' persisted in common usage alongside the letter-by-letter 'S-Q-L'.
