Austrian Spelling Code

This phonetic spelling guide shows the German equivalent of the English/international (Alpha, Bravo, Charlie…) phonetic spelling used to avoid confusion when spelling words on the phone or in radio communication. It can be helpful when you need to spell your non-German name on the phone or in other situations where spelling confusion may arise.

PRACTICE: Use the chart below to spell your name (first and last names) in German, using the German alphabet and the German spelling code (Buchstabiertafel). Remember that the German formula is “A wie Anton.”

For example to spell McDonald you would use Marta, Cësar, Dora, Otto, Norbert, Anton, Norbert, Anton, Ludwig, Dora

A – Anton Ä – Ärger B – Berta C – Cësar Ch – Christine D – Dora E – Emil F – Friedrich G – Gustav H – Heinrich

I – Ida J- Julius K – Konrad L – Ludwig M – Marta N – Norbert O – Otto Ö – Österreich P – Paula Q – Quelle

R – Richard S – Siegfried T – Theodor U – Ulrich Ü – Übel V – Victor W – Wilhelm X – Xavier Y – Ypsilon Z – Zacherias
