Pronunciation

Correct

ZY-links

/ˈzaɪlɪŋks/

The 'Xi' is pronounced /zaɪ/ — rhymes with 'high'. The full word sounds like 'Zy-links'. This trips up many who try to pronounce it 'eks-ih-linx'.

Common Mistake

EKS-ih-links

/ˈɛksɪlɪŋks/

The 'X' at the start is not pronounced like an English X. The 'Xi' combination gives /zaɪ/, making it 'ZY-links'.
