How do you pronounce it?

The romanization is Ōsutin.

In Japanese, names of foreign cities like オースティン are written in katakana, a script originally developed to represent sounds that didn't exist in native Japanese.
If a Japanese speaker wants to specify that オースティン is a city, they often add the word 市 'shi' after it, creating オースティン市.
While English speakers use a single continuous flow for 'Austin', Japanese phonetic rules split the name into four distinct beats: 'O', 'su', 'ti', and 'n'.

「テキサス州の州都って、どこ？」「オースティンよ」
"What is the capital of the state of Texas?" "Austin."
This sentence is useful for answering a question about the capital of Texas using オースティン.
