0 Hi, 02br
00I'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"...02br

0Most English speakers would say it /maIl@/. Most likely whatever language it comes from, it would probably be pronounced /mila/.0-

My name is Mila ; )

It's pronounced Mi-la (not myla nor m'la).. Its root is Slavic and it means a dear one, loved by the people. It's used frequently as an epithet, i.e. mila mamma, or simply 'mila' when you call your lover or dear one. 

Hope this helped. ; )

The first vowel can be either /i/ or /a?/; both vowels are related via great vowel shift. For instance, look at two pronunciations of words like via, router, etc.
