The NATO phonetic alphabet, more accurately known as the International Radiotelephony Spelling Alphabet and also called the ICAO phonetic or ICAO spelling alphabet, as well as the ITU phonetic alphabet, is the most widely used spelling alphabet. Although often called "phonetic alphabets", spelling alphabets are not associated with phonetic transcription systems such as the International Phonetic Alphabet. Instead, the International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO) alphabet assigned code words acrophonically to the letters of the English alphabet so that critical combinations of letters and numbers can be pronounced and understood by those who transmit and receive voice messages by radio or telephone regardless of language barriers or the presence of transmission static. The 26 code words in the NATO phonetic alphabet are assigned to the 26 letters of the English alphabet in alphabetical order as follows: Alfa, Bravo, Charlie, Delta, Echo, Foxtrot, Golf, Hotel, India, Juliett, Kilo, Lima, Mike, November, Oscar, Papa, Quebec, Romeo, Sierra, Tango, Uniform, Victor, Whiskey, X-ray, Yankee, Zulu. International adoptionEdit After the phonetic alphabet was developed by the International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO) (see history below) it was adopted by many other international and national organizations, including the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO), the International Telecommunication Union (ITU), the International Maritime Organization (IMO), the American Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), the Alliance for Telecommunications Industry Solutions (ATIS), and the American Radio Relay League (ARRL). It is a subset of the much older International Code of Signals (INTERCO), which originally included visual signals by flags or flashing light, sound signals by whistle, siren, foghorn, or bell, as well as one, two, or three letter codes for many phrases.[1] The same alphabetic code words are used by all agencies, but each agency chooses one of two different sets of numeric code words. NATO uses the regular English numeric words (Zero, One, with some alternative pronunciations), whereas the IMO provides for compound numeric words (Nadazero, Unaone, Bissotwo...). In practice these are used very rarely, as they frequently result in confusion between speakers of different languages. NATOEdit A common name for this spelling alphabet, "NATO phonetic alphabet," exists because it appears in Allied Tactical Publication ATP-1, Volume II: Allied Maritime Signal and Maneuvering Book used by all allied navies of NATO, which adopted a modified form of the International Code of Signals. Because the latter allows messages to be spelled via flags or Morse code, it naturally named the code words used to spell out messages by voice its "phonetic alphabet". The name NATO phonetic alphabet became widespread because the signals used to facilitate the naval communications and tactics of NATO have become global.[2] However, ATP-1 is marked NATO Confidential (or the lower NATO Restricted) so it is not available publicly. Nevertheless, a NATO unclassified version of the document is provided to foreign, even hostile, militaries, even though they are not allowed to make it available publicly. The spelling alphabet is now also defined in other unclassified international military documents.[3] The NATO alphabet appeared in some United States Air Force Europe publications during the Cold War. A particular example was the Ramstein Air Base, Telephone Directory published between 1969 and 1973 (currently out of print). The American and NATO versions had differences and the translation was provided as a convenience. Differences included Alfa, Bravo and Able, Baker for the first two letters. HistoryEdit The ICAO developed this system in the 1950s in order to account for discrepancies that might arise in communications as a result of multiple alphabet naming systems coexisting in different places and organizations.[4] In the official[5] version of the alphabet, the non-English spellings Alfa and Juliett are used. Alfa is spelled with an f as it is in most European languages because the English and French spelling alpha would not be pronounced properly by native speakers of some other languages – who may not know that ph should be pronounced as f. Juliett is spelled with a tt for French speakers, because they may otherwise treat a single final t as silent. In some English versions of the alphabet, one or both of these may have their standard English spelling.[6] Code wordsEdit The pronunciation of the code words accompanying the ICAO audio recording of 1955[7] This article contains IPA phonetic symbols. Without proper rendering support, you may see question marks, boxes, or other symbols instead of Unicode characters. The final choice of code words for the letters of the alphabet and for the digits was made after hundreds of thousands of comprehension tests involving 31 nationalities. The qualifying feature was the likelihood of a code word being understood in the context of others. For example, football has a higher chance of being understood than foxtrot in isolation, but foxtrot is superior in extended communication.[8] The pronunciation of the code words varies according to the language habits of the speaker. To eliminate wide variations in pronunciation, recordings and posters illustrating the pronunciation desired by the ICAO are available.[8][9] However, there are still differences in pronunciation between the ICAO and other agencies, and the ICAO has conflicting Roman-alphabet and IPA transcriptions. Also, although all codes for the letters of the alphabet are English words, they are not in general given English pronunciations. Assuming that the transcriptions are not intended to be precise, only 11 of the 26—Bravo, Echo, Hotel, Juliet(t), Kilo, Mike, Papa, Quebec, Romeo, Whiskey, and Zulu—are given English pronunciations by all these agencies, though not always the same English pronunciations.

However thoughtful and reasoned, I must take some issue with Mr. Herzer’s commentary and that is submitted following. A. Allegation of Inadequacy In Emergency Operations Skills 1. In his second paragraph, Mr. Herzer states, “The Amateur Radio Service is to be available with trained amateurs to serve in case of local and national emergencies. Yet the NCVEC [National Council of Volunteer Examiner Coordinators] proposal is asking that the FCC create a license structure that does not certify minimum skills from these amateurs that would be need for those emergencies as stated in Part 97.1 d).” §97.1 (d) states Expansion of the existing reservoir within the amateur radio service of trained operators, technicians, and electronics experts. There seems to be some confusion there as to the basis and purpose of the Amateur Radio Service.

  • Language Specific Peculiarities Document for Cantonese As
    Language Specific Peculiarities Document for Cantonese as Spoken in the Guangdong and Guangxi Provinces of China 1. Dialects The name "Cantonese" is used either for all of the language varieties spoken in specific regions in the Guangdong and Guangxi Provinces of China and Hong Kong (i.e., the Yue dialects of Chinese), or as one particular variety referred to as the "Guangfu group" (Bauer & Benedict 1997). In instances where Cantonese is described as 'Cantonese "proper"' (i.e. used in the narrower sense), it refers to a variety of Cantonese that is spoken in the capital cities Guangzhou and Nanning, as well as in Hong Kong and Macau. This database includes Cantonese as spoken in the Guangdong and Guangxi Provinces of China only (i.e. not in Hong Kong); five dialect groups have been defined for Cantonese (see the following table)1. Three general principles have been used in defining these dialect groupings: (i) phonological variation, (ii) geographical variation, and (iii) lexical variation. With relation to phonological variation, although Cantonese is spoken in all of the regions listed in the table, there are differences in pronunciation. Differences in geographic locations also correlate with variations in lexical choice. Cultural differences are also correlated with linguistic differences, particularly in lexical choices.

  • "Stick to the Script: Orthographies, Fonts and Philosophy"
    Stick to the Script Orthographies, Fonts and Philosophy David J. Peterson http://dedalvs.com/ 1 W Ø ¢ A, b, c … , , … Most of us create languages for fun. Few things are more fun than creating a new writing system (Peterson, 2009). Today: What writing systems exist; how to create them; how to create fonts; other more exciting things. 2 Some Definitions Orthography: A language’s writing system (includes punctuation, numbers, etc.). Script: The system of characters/marks used in an orthography (e.g. the Roman script is used to write English). Romanization: How one uses the Roman script to write a language whose orthography does not typically use the Roman script. 3 More Definitions... Phoneme: A sonic unit utilized by languages, e.g. /x/. Phonetic Symbol: The phonetic value of a given phoneme, e.g. [x]. Grapheme: A symbol used in an orthography, e.g. <x> or x. 4 Schedule Types of Writing Systems Orthography Creation Font Creation Final Thoughts 5 Writing Systems In English, we learn our A, B, C’s. In Chinese, a special secondary script is used to teach children how to use the actual Chinese script. Why doesn’t everyone just use the Roman alphabet? 6 Alphabetic Systems An alphabetic system assigns glyphs to sounds. In such systems, vowels and consonants are treated equally. Spanish: <A, a> = /a/, <T, t> = /t/ 7 Abjads In abjads, consonants are prominent, and vowels have a somewhat inferior role and are often omitted. /tatakalam/ = ﺗَﺘَﻜَﻠَﻢ or ﺗﺘﻜﻠﻢ :Arabic “you say” 8 Alphasyllabaries In alphasyllabaries, consonants have basic forms, and vowel characters are added to them.

    Phonetic Alphabet Here you’ll learn the history of the Phonetic Alphabet and then you will learn the Phonetic Alphabet! A Quick History of the Phonetic Alphabet! The NATO Phonetic Alphabet was developed to help make messages clearer over the radio. Imagine that you are a radio operator in the middle of a war. Things can get very crazy, and messages coming over the radio waves can be extremely important! Before the creation of the Phonetic Alphabet, messages could easily get mixed up or misheard. This alphabet uses words instead of letters. This helped to clear up confusion. Doesn’t “P” sound like “B”? Or “T”? Or “C”? Or even “E”? Getting mixed up messages was definitely not a good thing! In the 1920s, the International Telecommunication Union (ITU) created the first phonetic alphabet. It used the names of places around the world. It looks much different than the alphabet you will learn today!

  • Language Specific Peculiarities Document for Paraguayan Guarani (PG) As Spoken in PARAGUAY
    Language Specific Peculiarities Document for Paraguayan Guarani (PG) as spoken in PARAGUAY 1. Special handling of dialects Paraguayan Guarani, also called Avañe'ẽ (people's language), belongs to the Tupi-Guarani sub- group of the Tupian language family. It is spoken throughout Paraguay as well as in the Argentinian provinces of Corrientes, Misiones, Formosa, Chaco, and the north of Santa Fe, and in the southern parts of the Brazilian states Mato Grosso do Sul, and Paraná. According to Ethnologue (2015), Paraguayan Guarani’s closest relatives are Ava Guarani (Paraguay), Mbyá Guarani (Brazil), Kaiwá (Brazil), Ñandeva (Paraguay) and Pai Tavytera (Paraguay). The language of collection is spoken Paraguayan Guarani. It is worth noting that all naturally spoken Guarani shows the influence of Spanish through semantic calques as well as frequent code-mixing (e.g., names for numerals, days, months, etc.). The resulting mixed code is often referred to as Jópara (from the Guarani word for ‘mix’). While all Paraguayan Guarani speakers code-mix, the degree to which Spanish calques and lexical items are used in the language varies by speaker and context (proficiency in Spanish, goals of communication, degree of formality, etc.) (Dietrich, 2010). There is an official form of the language, known as Guaraniete. This highly prescriptive form of the language is taught in schools and used in official documents. It purports to be free of Spanish borrowings. It is important to understand that spoken Guaraniete is restricted to media such as television and radio broadcasts, which in turn are uncommon (Spanish tends to dominate the media). It is not used in ordinary speech outside of these contexts.
