The phonetic alphabet is used to make spellings clearer over phone or radio - kilo for letter k, foxtrot for letter f. Police and other organisations use it to make sure that spellings are clear to the person hearing it. For example a car registration number - F123 ABC would be Foxtrot, 1, 2, 3, Alpha, Bravo, Charlie.
The full Phonetic Alphabet is as follows;
Alpha, Bravo, Charlie, Delta, Echo, Foxtrot, Golf, Hotel, India, Juliett, Kilo, Lima, Mike, November, Oscar, Papa, Quebec, Romeo, Sierra, Tango, Uniform, Victor, Whiskey, Xray, Yankee, Zulu.

English has only ever had 2 alphabets in its History. The First was the Futhark alphabet, which was replaced by the Latin alphabet in the 9th Century.
Today we still use the Latin alphabet.
What is the longest word in the alphabet?
Last time I checked, the alphabet was made up of letters...not words. I guess you *could* string some letters together to make words. For that reason, the longest words inside the alphabet may be "NO" or "HI" or "STU."

Is the y in baby a vowel or a consonant?
It is a consonant because there are already e's in the word. Therefore, y would be a consanant.
Y is a vowel in everybody. It doesn't matter how many ee's are in the word it depends on how the word is pronounced.
