This list contains [[acronym]]s, [[initialism]]s, and [[pseudo-blend]]s that begin with the letter '''M'''.
{{List of acronyms disclaimer|qualifier= that begin with the letter '''M'''}}


[[List of acronyms|(Main list of acronyms)]]
An '''acronym''' is an [[abbreviation]] pronounced as a series of constituent letters; an '''initialism''' is an abbreviation whose pronunciation is wholly or partly the names of constituent letters; and a '''pseudo-blend''' is an abbreviation whose extra or omitted letters means that it cannot be considered a true acronym, initialism, or [[portmanteau]] (a word formed by combining two or more words).
:'''(a)''' = acronym in the example: ''SARS - (a) Severe acute respiratory syndrome''
:'''(i)''' = initialism in the example: ''CD - (i) Compact disc''
:'''(p)''' = pseudo-blend in the example: ''UNIFEM - (p) United Nations Development Fund for Women''
:'''(s)''' = symbol (none of the above, stands for and is read as something else; for example: ''MHz - Megahertz'')

== Add new entries here ==
Please add your own, in a quasi-dictionary order with lowercase treated the same as uppercase and ignoring non-alphanumeric characters (hyphens and such). This means that only [[alphanumeric]] characters have any significance in determining order, and that lowercase letters occupy the same ordering position as uppercase (in tie-breaker cases, list lower case first). For example: Algol appears before ALS. (This differs from a strict [[ASCII]] ordering.)

Latest revision as of 06:29, 11 December 2024

This list contains acronyms, initialisms, and pseudo-blends  that begin with the letter M.

For the purposes of this list:

  • acronym = an abbreviation pronounced as if it were a word, e.g., SARS = severe acute respiratory syndrome, pronounced to rhyme with cars
  • initialism = an abbreviation pronounced wholly or partly using the names of its constituent letters, e.g., CD = compact disc, pronounced cee dee
  • pseudo-blend = an abbreviation whose extra or omitted letters mean that it cannot stand as a true acronym, initialism, or portmanteau (a word formed by combining two or more words).
(a) = acronym, e.g.: SARS – (a) severe acute respiratory syndrome
(i) = initialism, e.g.: CD – (i) compact disc
(p) = pseudo-blend, e.g.: UNIFEM – (p) United Nations Development Fund for Women
(s) = symbol (none of the above, representing and pronounced as something else; for example: MHz – megahertz)

Some terms are spoken as either acronym or initialism, e.g., VoIP, pronounced both as voyp and V-O-I-P.
