missile; data
Pakistan in both its short- and long- vowel variants (and indeed another: short-long, Pakist�?n) is common in the UK. I'm not too sure of the Urdu vowels themselves except for “varyingly longish”.
How is Tunisia pronounced across the pond? Tu as in to instead of chew?

Hmmm...scone is a funny one.
I would pronounce it "sc-oh-n"
But there's a place in Scotland called Scone and it's pronounced "sc -oo- n"

I haven't a clue about Linux as I've never actually heard anyone say it.
No computer geek friends, you see.
Or perhaps no friends at all.

Maybe pack-e-stan in the north of England but it's more like park-i-starn in the south. Or pahk-i-stahn.
