Alphabet Pronunciation
Below, you can listen to how we pronounce the letters of the alphabet. Remember, this is just for
how we say the "name" of each letter. When we use the letters in words, they often have a
different sound.
We say all the letters of the alphabet the same in British English and American English except
for Z. In British English we say "Zed". In American English we say "Zee".
It is very easy to learn English Phonetic Spelling. Start by spelling your name, then your
company or address. Soon, you will know the whole alphabet. It also helps to remember that
there are several groups of words that go together:
A Alpha N November
B Bravo O Oscar
C Charlie P Papa
D Delta Q Quebec
E Echo R Romeo
F Foxtrot S Sierra
G Golf T Tango
H Hotel U Uniform
I India V Victor
J Juliet W Whisky
K Kilo X X-ray
L Lima Y Yankee
M Mike Z Zulu
According to the International Phonetic Association, the above list is sometimes wrongly called
the "International Phonetic Alphabet".
