I don’t get it. Why would we need letters for sounds that don’t exist in English (Spanish N~, trilling R, etc.)? None of the major languages have separate letters for trilling Rs and English-style Rs.
The same old standard phonetic alphabet (which you
would use to describe spelling “Wilson” as “Whiskey, India,
Lima, Sierra, Oscar, November”) has been used by aircraft
pilots, millitary personnel, and many others for many years
now. So, I finally decided to come up with something a bit
more “original” for those people who annoy me:
A Are N Nine
B Bee O Owe
C Cite P Pseudonym
D Double-U Q Queue
E Eye R Rap
F Five S Sea
G Genre T Tsunami
H Hoe U Understand?
I I V Vie
J Junta W Why
K Knot X Xylophone
L Lye Y You
M Me Z Zero
People don’t ask me to spell anything over the
phone anymore.
Try reading all your English by what we’re taught is basic English phonetics.
Heck, try just my sentence there.
My own taste would be to include two or three kinds of things, Spanish N and umlauted German vowels which don't exist in English but which are commonly encountered. Obviously no one person could enforce such a thing and some major group effort would have to be involved. The alphabet suggested here is just that, a suggestion.
