    The first purely phonetic alphabet was invented by the Phoenicians, sometime before 1050 BCE.
    The letters in the English alphabet are a mix of ancient rune characters and various Greek and Latin characters. It took over 1500 years to arrive at our modern English alphabet.

    Early Christian leaders in Old English times tried to forbid using runes because they were of pagan origin, but the characters fit the language, so they were used anyway. Greek and Latin contributed more letters than any other source.


    The alphabet doesn't have an inventor. It was developed over many, many years because of the need for different letters and different information
