    NATO Phonetic Alphabet


    The NATO phonetic alphabet is a Spelling Alphabet, a set of words used instead of letters in oral
    communication (i.e. over the phone or military radio). Each word ("code word") stands for its initial
    letter (alphabetical "symbol"). The 26 code words in the NATO phonetic alphabet are assigned to the 26
    letters of the English alphabet in alphabetical order as follows:

    Notes

    The NATO (North Atlantic Treaty Organization) Phonetic Alphabet is


    currently officially denoted as the International Radiotelephony
    Spelling Alphabet (IRSA) or the ICAO (International Civil Aviation
    Organization) phonetic alphabet or ITU (International
    Telecommunication Union) phonetic alphabet. Thus this alphabet can
    be reffered as the ICAO/ITU/NATO Phonetic Alphabet or
    International Phonetic Alphabet..

    This alphabet is used by the U.S. military and has also been adopted
    by the FAA (American Federal Aviation Administration), ANSI
    (American National Standards Institute), and ARRL (American Radio
    Relay League).

    Contrary to what its name suggests, the NATO Phonetic Alphabet is


    not a phonetic alphabet. Phonetic alphabets are used to indicate,
    through symbols or codes, what a speech sound or letter sounds
    like. The NATO Phonetic Alphabet is instead a spelling alphabet
    (also known as telephone alphabet, radio alphabet, word-spelling
    alphabet, or voice procedure alphabet).

    Spelling alphabets, such as the NATO Phonetic Alphabet, consists of


    a set of words used to stand for alphabetical letters in oral
    communication. These are used to avoid misunderstanding due to
    difficult to spell words, different pronunciations or poor line
    communication.

    A typical use of the NATO Phonetic Alphabet would be to spell out


    each letter in a word over the phone by saying, for example: "S as in
    Sierra" (or "S for Sierra"), "E as in Echo, Y as in Yankee, F as in
    Foxtrot, R as in Romeo, I as in India, E as in Echo, D as in Delta" to
    communicate the spelling of the name "Seyfried" correctly.
