The English alphabet consists of 26 letters: A, B, C, D, E, F, G, H, I, J, K, L, M, N, O, P, Q, R, S, T, U, V, W, X, Y, Z. These letters form the basis of the modern English language. The English alphabet is derived from the Latin alphabet, which was used by the ancient Romans. The Latin alphabet became standardized by the International Organization for Standardization. The Latin alphabet itself originated from the Greek alphabet, which in turn evolved from the Phoenician alphabet. The Phoenician alphabet was heavily influenced by the sacred Egyptian hieroglyphs during the period of Phoenicia’s Egyptian rule. The Phoenician people were deeply impacted by Egyptian culture during this time.
