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

Explanation

The NATO (North Atlantic Treaty Organization) phonetic alphabet, also known as the ICAO (International Civil Aviation Organization) or ITU (International Telecommunications Union) phonetic alphabet, is a standardized system of radio call letters used by various organizations worldwide, particularly those involved in aviation and military communications. Each letter of the English alphabet has a corresponding word that is easy to pronounce and spell over a radio or other noisy communication channels. The letter 'T' is represented by the word 'Tango'. This was adopted because it is a nonsense word, avoiding confusion with any existing words or phrases in English or many other languages.
