Lien-ux sounds closer to my ear. Then again, I come from the, kind of 
cultural crossroads (Tucson, AZ) where pronouncing things in their 
native languages is considered fairly important for everyday 
communication. I had one hell of a time when I got here figuring out 
where "Ponz (or pon-say) duh Lion" (Ponce De Leon) was, or where "Die 
Cab" (DeKalb) county was.
