As a non-native speaker I’d have no idea how to pronounce or spell Jig, Oboe, Tare or Yoke

Which is exactly why the NATO alphabet is the way it is. NATO is an international organization, and the alphabet is suitable for that.

Jig - take the Ji from Jim and add a “g”

Oboe - oh bow

Tare - take the “T” from top and the “are” from share. Or more annoyingly, switch the P for T in “pear”.

Yoke - same as woke, poke, toke, joke but with a Y as the first sound. It’s also pronounced the same as yolk in most accents.

I worry this isn’t the most helpful guide even for someone who speaks English as a first language, is that bow as in bow, or bow?

This was helpful but made me question how I pronounce some of those other words 😅

1. Defining a Guide Guides are comprehensive reference materials, how-tos, or comparison tables. A guide must be well-organized both in content and layout. Information should be easily accessible without unnecessary navigation. Guides can include flowcharts, step-by-step instructions, or visual references that compare different elements side by side.

3. Grey Area Moderators may use discretion when deciding to remove posts. If in doubt, message us or use downvotes for content you find inappropriate.

4. Source Attribution If you know the original source of a guide, share it in the comments to credit the creators.

5. Diverse Content To keep our community engaging, avoid saturating the feed with similar topics. Excessive posts on a single topic may be moderated to maintain diversity.

6. Verify in Comments Always check the comments for additional insights or corrections. Moderators rely on community expertise for accuracy.
