Swedish Armed Forces' phonetic alphabet

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Swedish Armed Forces' phonetic alphabet is made up of Swedish two-syllable male names with the exception of Z which is just the name of the letter as pronounced in Swedish.

Although Sweden has its own alphabet, the Swedish Armed Forces use the NATO alphabet more often to communicate, since most activity is in various international UN and NATO missions.
