I think it's pronounced LEEN-shopping, but a native Swedish speaker might like to correct me on that. Googling suggests LINsherping.

I usually hear something between the two, something like "L(i|e)hn'-sch(o|e)h-ping" (to abuse both phonetics AND regular expression notation!). Not a native Swedish speaker, but many coworkers hail from there. --ScottVokes

Link�ping can be written Linkoeping (for savages) or even Link�ping (or Link�bing) if you're Danish or Norwegian.

The usual umlaut (� = � = oe) rule applies (being a vowel sound English doesn't really have. M�bius has the same sound, as does sch�n (shoen).

I've heard it pronounced two different ways, LINshoeping (accent first syllable) and LINshoePing (last syllable slightly accented).
