NATO phonetic alphabet

From Teflpedia

The NATO phonetic alphabet (/neɪtəʊ fənetɪk ælfəbet/) is a professional spelling alphabet. It can be used in class to spell out words, and may be needed for some English for specific purposes, e.g. pilots/air traffic control/military/maritime/railway applications. The words were selected to sound different from each other, even when pronounced in a non-native accent. The name is a misnomer, as it’s not a phonetic alphabet.
