Are you pronouncing it "mannex" or is it "latinks"?

Latinks. But as stated before, I usually say "la-teen" or "la-ti-nə".

Pronouncing the X as "eks" or "ks" is awkward imo. It was picked for its "unknown" or "cross" connotations so I use the neutral vowel (schwa or none) in pronunciation instead.
