The Latin alphabet is a writing system originally used by the ancient Romans. It consists of 26 letters, ranging from A to Z, and is the most widely used alphabet in the world today. Many languages, including English, Spanish, and French, utilize this alphabet, adapting it to fit their phonetic needs. The Latin alphabet has evolved over time, with some letters being added or modified. It is the basis for various scripts and has influenced other writing systems, such as the Cyrillic and Greek alphabets. Its simplicity and versatility contribute to its global adoption.
