The Latin alphabet, also called the Roman alphabet, is the most widely used alphabetic writing system in the world today. The basic alphabet comprises 26 letters[1] and is used, with some modification, for most of the languages of Europe (excluding some Eastern European countries), the Americas, Sub-Saharan Africa, and the islands of the Pacific.
It is generally held that the Latins adopted the western variant of the Greek alphabet in the 7th century BC from Cumae, a Greek colony in southern Italy. Roman legend credited the introduction to one Evander, son of the Sibyl, supposedly 60 years before the Trojan war, but there is no historically sound basis to this tale. From the Cumae alphabet, the Etruscan alphabet was derived and the Latins finally adopted 21 of the original 26 Etruscan letters.
