Long time ago, I found the alphabeth in this version.

It is a great way to memorise the alphabeth, or at least a way to communicate it by phone, if you are not a native speaker it gives confidence when you have to spell your name or you flight, etc.

Well, it is interesting also to see the origins of this use of alphabeth.

Alpha Bravo Charlie...

It’s called the International Phonetic Alphabet (IPA) — a standardized system designed to prevent miscommunication when spelling words over radio or phone.

✈️ Used worldwide by pilots, sailors, military personnel, and air traffic controllers, it ensures clarity in high-stakes environments where misunderstanding a single letter could have serious consequences.

🕰️ A Bit of History:

The origins of this phonetic alphabet go back to the early 20th century, especially during World War I, when clear communication over noisy radio channels became critical.

• In the 1920s, the International Telecommunication Union (ITU) began developing systems to standardize radio communications.
• By the 1940s, various versions were used by different countries and branches of the military.
• In 1956, the ICAO (International Civil Aviation Organization) finalized the version we use today — now also adopted by NATO, the maritime industry, and many others.
