The almost universally used English International Phonetic Alphabet was adopted in 1955 for use by international air traffic control, maritime, police, military (NATO), and other users of radio and telephone communication:
Alpha Bravo Charlie Delta Echo Foxtrot Golf Hotel India
Juliet Kilo Lima Mike November Oscar Papa Quebec Romeo
Sierra Tango Uniform Victor Whiskey X— ray Yankee Zulu
Before 1955 there were a number of different standards in use, such as:
The old U.S. Navy Radio Alphabet:
Able Baker Charlie Dog Easy Fox George How Item
Jig King Love Mike Nan Oboe Peter Queen Roger
Sugar Tare Uncle Victor William X— ray Yoke Zebra
The Western Union Phonetic Alphabet:
Adams Boston Chicago Denver Easy Frank George Henry Ida
John King Lincoln Mary NewYork Ocean Peter Queen Roger
Sugar Thomas Union Victor William X-ray Young Zero
In Asia you will still find a variant of the following phonetic alphabet in common use, even by Airline Reservations staff (although the pilots, of course, use the International standard):
Australia Bombay China Delhi England Fiji Geneva HongKong India
Japan KualaLumpur London Malaysia Norway Osaka Penang Queensland Russia
Singapore Taiwan Uganda Vietnam Wellington X-ray Yokohama Zanzibar
