    The English alphabet originated from the Latin alphabet which was developed from the Greek and Phoenician alphabets. The Latin alphabet was brought to Britain by the Romans in the 1st century AD and eventually displaced the older runic alphabet. Over time, the letters took on their modern form and the alphabet was established with 26 letters, though some letters like J, U, and W were later additions derived from other Latin letters.
