What word represents the letter 'T' in the NATO phonetic alphabet?

The story behind the answer

Tango is the standardized code word for the letter T in the NATO (and ICAO) phonetic alphabet, used to ensure clear communication over radio and telephone where static, accents, or similar-sounding letters (like T and D) can cause confusion. Words like Taxi, Turkey, and Target aren’t part of the official set, which was carefully chosen for distinct sounds and global pronounceability.

Context: The current list was developed by the International Civil Aviation Organization in the early 1950s and later adopted by NATO and many services worldwide. Memory tip: Think “It takes Two to Tango” — two Ts — or picture the sharp, upright “T” as a dancer’s frame starting a Tango.
