The name of the person who invented English Alphabets?

Answer 1

Some years ago, while in college, I wrote a paper about the formation of the English alphabet. According to research, the alphabet was invented in the island of Crete, South Greece, more than 3,000 years ago. Then, it was delivered to rest of Greece cities, which were expanding throughout all Mediterranean and Black seas, as well as outside them, like in Ireland, Britain, Africa, Asia, etc. When Rome was being founded, they selected the dialect/ language and alphabet of Kyme, Euvoia, 150 km Northeast from Athens and thus the "Latin" alphabet was adopted in Rome. For centuries the Europeans did not write or read. Even in the 11th and 12th centuries, when they went, militarily against the Greeks, they did not understand what were those "books" used for! The leaves of them were not edible! Then they started burning them to heat the waters in the baths, etc. Later, the north and Western Europeans adopted the Latin alphabet and used it to "write" their language, so the writing of most languages started!

Answer 2

I don't think the alphabet was invented. It evolved. If you look in the opening pages of the Merriam-Webster dictionary, there is a section that shows the progression of writing from Egyptian symbols into Greek letters and finally into the Western alphabet as we know it today.

Answer 3

Languages and alphabets take time and development, a gradual process over generations. Ours is the Latin alphabet. No one person actually sat down with paper and pen (or stone tablet) and set about inventing their own alphabet for everyone to use.
