Cute written word - even though two words pronounced completely differently at join (an versus añ).
Which do you pronounce correctly the scan or the anxiety? [scan]xiety or [sk]anxiety

The former. It doesn't quite roll off the tongue, but with my (Australian) accent the difference is minor.
Kiwi here - I'll use the word with my friends in future because a label does help.
As a non-native English speaker, pronouncing it scan-xiety (sken-ZAHyetee) feels correct.
