Phonetic Alphabet

Island Union Phonetic Alphabet
The Island Union Phonetic Alphabet (IUPA) was used by pilots, captains, and other officials in the Island Union. While popularly referred to as a "phonetic alphabet", the IUPA is in fact a spelling alphabet of codewords assigned to each Cosprak letter so that they can be pronounced and understood without confusion between similar-sounding letters like 'B' and 'P'.
