- Phonetic Alphabets (Alpha Bravo etc)
- May 1997
-
- There is a widely known alphabet Alpha Bravo ... Yankee Zulu.
- Such alphabets are variously known as phonetic/radio/
- spelling/telephone alphabets, and the term analogy alphabet
- is also used. This collection currently includes alphabets
- for the following languages:
-
- English, French, German, Dutch, Flemish, Spanish,
- Portuguese, Italian, Romansh, Danish, Norwegian,
- Swedish, Finnish, Czech, Slovak, Polish, Hungarian,
- Croatian, Serbo-Croat, Romanian, Turkish, Hebrew,
- Russian, Swahili, Kwanyama, Ndonga, Afrikaans,
- Chinese and Esperanto.
-
- This posting supersedes the one of 21 March 1997. There are
- two new alphabets: one Greek and one Turkish.
-
- I have agreed to take over maintenance of this collection
- from Brian Kelk. Any comments or suggested changes may be
- sent to me at <gwil@mindspring.com>.
-
- Thanks are due to Mr. Kelk and to the many contributors,
- not all of whom are acknowledged below.
-
- In my capacity as the editor of this collection I have no
- objection to the further electronic distribution of this
- posting in full in circumstances where it is likely to be of
- interest, and where a document of this length is acceptable;
- in the case of Web pages I ask that care be taken, as it is
- easy to mangle something.
-
- There is a brief version of this collection. I don't intend
- to post it to the newsgroups unless I get requests for it.
- Both the full and brief versions may be found on the World
- Wide Web at:
-
- <http://www.mindspring.com/~gwil/phon.menu.html>
-
- The full version is at a number of other sites, including:
