A word alphabet is a set of words each representing a letter of the alphabet. Therefore, the system consists of as many words as there are letters in the alphabet, and each of these words begins with a letter of the alphabet.

Word alphabets are used for communication between two or more people by radio or telephone in cases where it is important that there are no errors in understanding data or messages. Word alphabets are widely used in all kinds of activities, and especially in sea and air navigation.

There are multiple alphabets for words in the most diverse languages. The best known is the one established by the International Civil Aviation Organization, and later the NATO phonetic alphabet, which is basically a copy of the previous one.
