Why it is 'an MLA' not 'a MLA' ???
MLA starts with M and M is not a vowel so it should be 'a MLA'!!!!
????????????????


This is because "MLA" starts with a vowel sound, When a word starts with, for example " money," the sound comes as "monee," so there is no vowel sound. In case of abbreviations like MLA, "m" is pronounced as "em": hence the vowel sound and hence article "an" is used.
