A brief Information about the
PHONETIC ALPHABET
The International
Radiotelephony
Spelling Alphabet, commonly known as the ICAO
phonetic alphabet, sometimes called the NATO
alphabet or spelling alphabet and the ITU
radio telephonic or phonetic alphabet, is the most widely
used radiotelephonic spelling alphabet. Although often called "phonetic
alphabets", spelling alphabets
are not associated with phonetic transcription systems such as the
International Phonetic Alphabet. Instead, the International Civil Aviation
Organization (ICAO) alphabet assigned code words acrophonically to the letters
of the English alphabet, so that critical combinations of letters and numbers
can be pronounced and understood by those who exchange voice messages by radio
or telephone regardless of language barriers or the quality of the
communication channel.
The 26 code words in the NATO phonetic alphabet are assigned to the 26 letters of the English
alphabet in alphabetical order as follows: Alfa, Bravo, Charlie, Delta, Echo,
Foxtrot, Golf, Hotel, India, Juliett, Kilo, Lima, Mike, November, Oscar, Papa,
Quebec, Romeo, Sierra, Tango, Uniform, Victor, Whiskey, X-ray, Yankee, Zulu.
