BC 1 century, Rome practiced * * * harmony, changed the linear Greek font, and adopted 23 letters, with distinctive Latin style and exaggerated circles. In the Middle Ages, the letter I was divided into I and J, and V was divided into U, V and W, resulting in 26 Roman letters, just like modern English letters.
The Roman Empire's rule in Western Europe and its cultural influence on the whole of Europe made Latin the official language of ancient and medieval Europe. Even English and German are influenced by it in vocabulary and grammar.
Latin letters are derived from Greek letters, while Greek letters are derived from Phoenician letters. Phoenician consonants to Greek phonetic alphabet, at this time, the text is written from right to left, and many letters are written backwards from left to right. Finally, the Roman alphabet inherited a variant of the Greek alphabet and made it closer to today's Latin alphabet, thus starting the first page of the history of the Latin alphabet with practical significance.
At that time, the Phoenicians summarized 30 symbols of their ancestors and merged them into 22 simple forms. Later, the 22 letters of the Phoenicians spread to the Aegean region and were used by the Greeks.
