The existing NATO phonetic alphabet – alfa, bravo, charlie, etc, isn’t the best example of an anacrophonic phonetic alphabet, which the creators of the Nearly Anacrophonic Phonetic Alphabet – or NAPA - hope to rectify…
The NAPA is an attempt to make a truly anacrophonic phonetic alphabet. While we were unable to rigorously maintain anacrophony, we feel that the few exceptions were unavoidable. In any case, the NAPA hews much more closely to the basic idea of anacrophony than any other phonetic alphabet of which we are aware.
