Phonetic Alphabet

The Phonetic Alphabet as given in Appendix 14 of the International Telecommunication Union's (ITU) Radio Regulations.

Phonetic Alphabet

Note: The boldfaced syllables are emphasized. For the numbers, each syllable should be equally emphasized. The pronunciations shown in this table were designed for those who speak any of the international languages. The pronunciations given for “Oscar” and “Victor” may seem awkward to English-speaking people in the US.
