The phonetic alphabet is one of the “basics” of communications. It is my understanding that it came about in the 1950’s. Its purpose is minimize potential misunderstandings in communication due to mispronounced leters. The words assigned to each letter were selected based on thousands of tests involving 31 different nationalities and accounts for the differences in linguistics of those nationalities.
Here are the letters of the alphabet and their associated code words:
| Letter | Phonetic Word | Letter | Phonetic Word | |
| A | Alpha | N | November | |
| B | Bravo | O | Oscar | |
| C | Charlie | P | Pappa | |
| D | Delta | Q | Quebec | |
| E | Echo | R |
