When I interviewed UCLA's Dr. Alan Rubin for Meteorite Magazine, I
noticed immediately that he (an English-speaking person, of course!)
pronounced it "nin in ger", and he theoretically is closer than most to
Nininger's "world".   But I think "nin in jer" would probably be much more 
common, at least in the U.S. of A., if a survey were to be taken.
