Frequently Asked Questions
The NATO phonetic alphabet is a standardized set of code words used to spell letters clearly in voice communication. A=Alpha, B=Bravo, C=Charlie, D=Delta, E=Echo, F=Foxtrot, G=Golf, H=Hotel, I=India, J=Juliett, K=Kilo, L=Lima, M=Mike, N=November, O=Oscar, P=Papa, Q=Quebec, R=Romeo, S=Sierra, T=Tango, U=Uniform, V=Victor, W=Whiskey, X=X-ray, Y=Yankee, Z=Zulu.
The phonetic alphabet prevents miscommunication in voice transmissions where similar-sounding letters can be confused (e.g., B and D, M and N). It is used in aviation, military, emergency services, and customer service.
NATO numbers are: 0=Zero, 1=One, 2=Two, 3=Three, 4=Four, 5=Five, 6=Six, 7=Seven, 8=Eight, 9=Nine. Unlike letters, numbers are typically pronounced normally rather than with code words.
