Hi,

If someone shows you an ID card with name Mila, how do you pronounce it? [mila] or [maila]?

Thank you,
Andrey

If she was Spanish, you'd pronounce it ['mila].

Hi,
I'd say [mila] because it's more or less the way I'd say it in Italian. And in English? I dunno! I really don't know! There are no rules to pronounce words in English, so if I had to read "Mila" I'd probably say either "mil-uh", "mil-ah", "me-luh", "me-lah", "my-luh", or "my-lah". Wanna know the first that would come to my mind? Probably "mil-uh"...

Wait for some native speakers now... Smile [:)]
