The English Alphabet (abc...)

An alphabet is a set of letters or symbols that we use to represent the basic speech sounds of a language in writing.

In this lesson we look at:

• Letters of the English Alphabet
• Small Letters and Large Letters (Capitals)
• Font Styles
• Alphabetical Order

The English word "alphabet" comes from the Latin word "alphabetum". The Latin word "alphabetum" came from the first two letters of the Greek alphabet, "alpha" and "beta".
