Alphabet is the series of letters used in writing a language. The name means exactly what the term ABC 's means as a name for the 26 letters of our alphabet. The word comes from alpha and beta, the first two letters of the Greek alphabet.

Most books, magazines, and newspapers are printed in the 26-letter alphabet called Roman. But the Romans did not invent it. They put finishing touches on a system that had been growing for thousands of years.
