That is, I and J were two shapes of the same letter and U and V were also two shapes of the same letter (to be compared with the shapes “a” and “ɑ” nowadays). Scribes adopted J as a variant of I and U as a variant of V. Each letter was doubled progressively in two shapes: the classical uppercase and the innovative lowercase.ĭuring the Middle Ages, new signs appeared in the Latin writing system. Later, classical Latin added Y and Z thanks to Greek borrowings during the 1st century CE:Ī B C D E F G H I K L M N O P Q R S T V X Y ZĪn innovation emerged in Late Antiquitity and at the beginning of the Middle Ages. Then, early Latin added G (derived from C) in the 3rd century BC in order to distinguish the -sound (G) and the -sound (C). Initially, the archaic Latin language used only twenty uppercase letters: The Roman alphabet is also used as an alternate-but secondary-writing system for Chinese as Pinyin, and for Japanese as Romaji.

Since the 19th century, it has been used by many languages of Africa, Asia, Oceania and the Americas that have been codified under western European influence. It is used by some international languages such as English, Spanish, German, and French, as well as all the other Romance languages, all the other Germanic languages, some Slavic languages, Turkish, Albanian, Hungarian, Finnish, Malay- Indonesian, and Vietnamese. With some modifications, and more often called the Roman alphabet, this alphabet is the writing system currently used for a great number of languages around the world. The Etruscans had no sound for (voiced velar stop) in their language, but three different -like sounds (close to a voiceless velar stop), and so adopted the Greek gamma to represent a sound but the shape of the West Greek gamma was actually similar to Latin C (instead of being similar to East Greek Γ), and eventually the letter morphed into the modern Latin letter 'C'. The "West Greek" alphabet was slightly different from the East Greek alphabet which evolved into the modern Greek alphabet, which caused some of the letterform changes. The Romans adopted the alphabet via the Etruscans, who had adopted it from the Greeks who had colonized Sicily and the southern Italian peninsula. It is derived from, and very similar to, the Greek alphabet.
