The NATO phonetics are so tired and old. This one uses popular fictional characters instead:
Aladdin Buffy Cruella Dorothy Edward Fiona Gandalf Hulk Igor Joker Kermit Lilo Mufasa Naruto Olaf Pikachu Quark Rapunzel Scoobie Tigger Ursula Vegeta Wolverine Xena Yoda Zorro
A as in Aye, B as in Bee, C as in Cay, D as in Dee, E as in Ex, F as in Fee, G as in Gee, H as in He, I as in I, J as in Jew, K as in Knight, L as in Lay, M as in May, N as in Night, O as in Oh, P as in Phi, Q as in Quran, R as in Ray, S as in Say, T as in Two, U as in Use, V as in Vain, W as in Why, X as in Xeno, Y as in You, Z as in Zeno
Anyways this is what it feels like when people don’t use nato phonetic with my deaf ass
I love that book
Quark!!! I love that for Q
So long as it’s said with maximum Odo grumpiness.
Quaarrrrrrrk!
Haha yeees
Improved based on feedback.

That’s “e”, as in “Epstein”.
Fiona.
But where’s that fella with all the thorns and eths in pheir comments.
Who?
I think their username is like anglosaxaphone or saxadick or somePing like dat. You’d know it because the posts are basically unreadable.
WTF are you talking about, even if they inserted random arabic letters instead of thorn and eth the comments would still be perfectly readable.
Þere’s a user around hat always writes like þis, substituting all “th” digraphs with the archaic letter Þ/þ (þhorn) or Ð/ð (eð). Þey were adapted and used interchangeably in Old English in place of “th”, before eventually being replaced by þe digraph again.
Þe user in question found it entertaining to use þem once more. Some people find it extremely annoying and tedious to read.
If you need it in modern English characters, tap here

“Aye for Ee-gor”

I was also considering Iroh
If NATO used this they might get sued by Nintendo for P. Maybe not, but that’s a showdown I’d LOVE to watch.
It’s for the internet. Nato’s alphabet is so English-focused, and it sounds so militaristic now. This is for the nerds and weirdos of the world.
But it isnt English focused and the reason it sounds militaristic is because the media shows the military use it
Alpha is Greek Bravo is Italian Delta is Greek India is its own country Kilo is Greek Lima is a city in Peru November is Latin Papa is decently multilingual Quebec is an indigenous word that was coined by a Frenchman Sierra is Spanish Tango is Spanish Victor is Latin Zulu is an indigenous tribe
Charlie, Juliet, Mike, Oscar, Romeo are all names that exist in multiple languages
Like it’s easy to think of it as being American since the American military uses it a lot but it was specifically designed to be useful by non English speakers for joint operations
I’ve had a similar shirt for many years: https://www.geekalerts.com/now-i-nerd-my-abcs-t-shirt/
That’s awesome!
Wolverine Tigger Fiona
Igor Dorothy Kermit
You used Quark, and not Quasimodo?
I’ll hunch your back and make you Notre Dame all over the fifteenth century.
I wanted them to all be under four syllables. I also tried to maximize variety for ending sounds, and there’s a lot of them that end in ‘o’ sounds already. Additionally I tried to pick names that could refer to multiple characters, e.g. Edward could refer to FMA, but it could also refer to Twilight; the name Quark shows up a lot. Also I didn’t want the list to feel too Disney heavy.
Kids these days… You should demand Quatermass!
edit: ugh someone made a remake :(
Love this. Quick note, Scooby is spelled with a Y.
Oh, thanks. My bad.
Wheres the Yoda key
