About This Answer
The modern English alphabet contains 26 letters, derived from the Latin alphabet that evolved from Greek and Phoenician writing systems. According to linguists at Oxford University, this 26-letter system became standardized in the 16th century when J, U, and W were added as distinct letters. The British Library houses manuscripts showing the evolution of the English alphabet through medieval times. Linguists note that the 26-letter alphabet represents one of the most efficient writing systems, balancing comprehensiveness with simplicity. This alphabet has become the foundation for countless languages and international communication standards.
