How Do You Spell LNIN?
Pronunciation: [ˈɛlnˈɪn] (IPA) 
The spelling of the word "LNIN" may seem strange to those unfamiliar with the Russian language. However, it adheres to Russian phonetic rules. In IPA phonetic transcription, "LNIN" can be written as [lʲnʲin]. The "L" represents the sound "L" as in "lion". The "N" represents the sound "N" as in "nice". But the "N" is modified by a palatalizing symbol "ʲ" which softens the sound. Therefore, "LNIN" is pronounced with a soft "N" sound followed by a regular "I" sound.
