The alphabet is the collection of letters that make up the words in the English language. The English alphabet A to Z letters that we know today are from Latin English and contain 26 letters in total.
The English alphabet includes 26 letters that go from A to Z. The A to Z letters include:
A, B, C, D, E, F, G, H, I, J, K, L, M, N, O, P, Q, R, S, T, U, V, W, X, Y and Z
or in lowercase letter form:
a, b, c, d, e, f, g, h, i, j, k, l, m, n, o, p, q, r, s, t, u, v, w, x, y, and z
An alphabet is the visual record of a spoken language.
Alphabets pair the sound of a letter (a phoneme) with a unique graphic representation (a grapheme). And it’s this partnership of sight and sound that allows us to read and write spoken languages.
The English alphabet is made up of 26 letters, of which five are vowels (a, e, i, o, and u) and 21 are consonants.
But, what we think of as the English alphabet is actually the Roman/Latin alphabet.
Christian missionaries brought Latin to British shores in the 7th century, and it quickly displaced the Anglo-Saxon language.
