History Of English Alphabet Letters
Alphabet letters, you see them every day. You use them every day to communicate ideas to other people. They are everywhere. You are using them now to gather information from this blog post. Have you ever stopped to think about where they came from? How did the modern English alphabet develop?
The first signs of written communication were found in Egypt. The Egyptian pictographs are the first known form of written communication. These were adapted by the Greeks and the Semites to form the symbols that would become the basis of the modern English alphabet.
The very first letter of the alphabet to be invented was based on the Egyptian pictograph of the Ox (known as Alef by the Semites). This pictograph underwent changes by the Phoenicians and the Greeks before it was adapted by the Romans to the modern day A in 114 A.D. This was the basis of the invention of the Alef-bet. Other letters based on Cyrillic (Russian) and Arabic letters were formed in later years and included in the alphabet that was used for the writing of Latin. The Anglo-Saxons of England developed their own alphabet which was later replaced by the Latin alphabet. The alphabet letters then underwent various revisions to form the modern day English alphabet.
