Phonetic Alphabets (Alpha Bravo etc)
November 2002
There is a widely known alphabet Alpha Bravo ... Yankee Zulu.
Such alphabets, used for spelling things out over voice
links, are variously known as phonetic/radio/spelling/
telephone alphabets, and the term analogy alphabet is also
used. This collection currently includes alphabets for the
following languages:
English, French, German, Dutch, Spanish, Portuguese,
Italian, Romansh, Danish, Norwegian, Swedish, Finnish,
Czech, Slovak, Polish, Hungarian, Croatian,
Serbo-Croat, Slovenian, Greek, Romanian, Turkish,
Hebrew, Russian, Ukrainian, Swahili, Kwanyama, Ndonga,
Afrikaans, Chinese and Esperanto.
There is also some information about Morse code and
phonetics for digits.
This posting supersedes the one of 20 July 2001. Changes
include new material for Czech and Polish, and French/Dutch
material from Belgium.
My thanks to the many contributors, not all of whom are
acknowledged below. Particular thanks to Gwillim Law
gwil@mindspring.com for numerous contributions and for
looking after posting for a while.
Please report any errors. I will be glad to receive new
material; further references; anecdotes; whatever.
