It pronounces like this:

I (as e-mail)
ñ (there’s not the exact sound in English, but it’s similar to saint)
a (there’s not the exact sound in English, but it’s similar to façade)
k (as like)
i (as study)

I disagree, ñ is not similar to saint, because then it would sound like a normal n (like santo).

I found a site (www.spanishdict.com) where you can look up a work and pronounce it. Here is the pronunciation of "español" so you can hear what ñ sounds like. http://www.spanishdict.com/a/s/espanol-s.wav

Well, I said there isn't such sound in English, so... I tried to find a word where its palatal features were reinforced. In the International Phonetic Alphabet, we would represent the sound as [η]

haha, yeah! Miguel is such a punk! I'm sure he gives his parents or his nannies lots of headaches.

Well, if my high school Spanish serves me correctly (and it may not) Iñaki should be pronounced:

Een-ya-kee
