From Wiktionary under the GNU Free Documentation License. An alphabet is a standardized set of letters — basic written symbols or graphemes — each of which roughly represents a phoneme in a spoken language, either as it exists now or as it was in the past. There are other systems, such as logographies, in which each character represents a word, morpheme, or semantic unit, and syllabaries, in which each character represents a syllable. Alphabets are classified according to how they indicate vowels:
The word "alphabet" came into Middle English from the Late Latin word Alphabetum, which in turn originated in the Ancient Greek Αλφάβητος Alphabetos, from alpha and beta, the first two letters of the Greek alphabet. Alpha and beta in turn came from the first two letters of the Phoenician alphabet, and meant ox and house respectively. There are dozens of alphabets in use today, the most common being Latin, deriving from the first true alphabet, Greek. Most of them are composed of lines (linear writing); notable exceptions are Braille, fingerspelling (Sign language), and Morse code. From Wikipedia under the

I know it's the largest alphabet, but how many letters does it have? Also, do you know what language, that is only 90 years old, is one of the world's youngest languages and is a blend of German, Dutch and other languages? Asked by f0reverl0ve5 - Thu Mar 5 23:34:12 2009 - - 2 Answers - 1 Comments A. There's not a simple answer to your main question. As for the second question... Esperanto maybe? Some of its vocabulary is derived from Germanic languages, and it was first introduced in a book published 121 years ago. That's about 90 years ago. I think? Answered by meh - Fri Mar 6 01:03:33 2009 Is it ok for ESL Kindergarten students to learn the english alphabet before they learn their native alphabet?
Q. There's a private school I teach at and they don't show the alphabet in their own native language. I was told not show the alphabet in english because they say it would confuse the children and complications would come about later on, is this true? Asked by N. B - Fri Dec 28 11:37:06 2007 - - 4 Answers - 0 Comments A. Personally, I think they should be taught both. There's really not much difference between the two (only 4 additional letters in Spanish). The English alphabet is only marginally helpful to overall learning, though. When children learn the Spanish alphabet, they learn the pronunciation of all the letters in Spanish, which is much more helpful since it's a phonetic language. In English, children pretty much just learn the names of the letters. As far as causing complications later, it really shouldn't unless this is a systemic problem in which children are not being taught anything in their native language. That could cause a cultural disconnect which will cause confusion and could cause a crisis later in life. Hope this helps.
