Phonetics and Morse Codes

Phonetics is a branch of linguistics that comprises the study of the sounds of human speech. In HAM, it is known as language of Radio communication.

Morse code is a method of transmitting textual information as a series of on-off tones, lights, or clicks that can be directly understood by a skilled listener or observer without special equipment. The International Morse Code encodes the Roman alphabet, the Arabic numerals and a small set of punctuation and procedural signals as standardized sequences of short and long "dots" (.)and "dashes"(-), or "di" (डि) and "da" (डा). Because many non-English natural languages use more than the 26 Roman letters, extensions to the Morse alphabet exist for those languages. When 'dot' comes to end of any character, it will be pronounced as 'dit' i.e. 'I' is represented as ".." in morse code and pronounced as 'di dit' (डि डिट्).
Morse code speed is specified in words per minute (WPM) and associated with an "element time" equal to 1.2 seconds divided by the speed in WPM.


For Number Phonetics will be as follows :

0 - Nada
1 - Una
2 - Bisso
3 - Terra
4 - Karte
5 - Panta
6 - Soxy
7 - Sette
8 - Okto
9 - Nova
Dot (.) - Decimal/Stop

Now its very difficult to memorise the morse code. Am I right? Lets make it easy. Please see the below image which will help us to remember the morse code.
