The word "aniens" is quite an unusual word, as it is not commonly used in English. The spelling of this word is phonetically transcribed as /ænˈjɛnz/. This means that the first syllable "an" is pronounced with the short "a" sound as in "cat", followed by a glide sound "y" in the second syllable. The last two syllables "i-ens" are pronounced as "yens" with a soft "y" sound. This word is of French origin and means "ancient" in English.
