Work Description
HOW THE ALPHABETS DEVELOPED
The book, you're about to read, will tell the story of the development of our alphabet, the Roman alphabet, which is only but one of fifty alphabets still in use. It was named after the Romans who arrange it for over 2500 years. But the Romans used to borrow a lot, and their alphabet was based on the works of others. The Roman alphabet is currently the most widespread because it is used by around one billion people.
