Lesson Six of the Galactic Standard English: NATO Phonetic Alphabet The NATO phonetic alphabet is a standardized set of words used to spell out letters of the alphabet over the radio or other voice communications. It is designed to prevent confusion between words that sound similar, such as "B" and "D" or "M" and "N". The NATO phonetic alphabet is used by military personnel, air traffic controllers, and other professionals who need to communicate clearly over the radio. It is also used by civilians who are learning English as a second language. The NATO phonetic alphabet consists of 26 words, each of which begins with a different letter of the alphabet. The words are: Alpha 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 To spell out a word using the NATO phonetic alphabet, simply say the corresponding word for each letter of the word. For example, the word "apple" would be spelled "Alpha, Papa, Lima, Echo." The NATO phonetic alphabet is a valuable tool for clear communication. By learning the NATO phonetic alphabet, you can improve your ability to communicate effectively in any situation.
