who introduce the english alphabet ?

Question

When was the first english alphabet used, year and country

Answer 1

No single person or a group invented the English Alphabet. It seems to have evolved through centuries.

The word' Alphabet' originated in 1567 from Alpha & Beta, the first & the second letter of the Greek Language from Hebrew.-Phoen. aleph, pausal form of eleph "ox" + beth, lit. "house;" the letters so called because their shapes resembled or represented those objects.

The Greeks added -a to the end of many Heb.-Phoenician letter names because Gk. words cannot end in most consonants.

So goes the story of the alphabets.

Here are some information regarding the origin & evolution of Alphabets:
" From Library Journal
Long regarded as a divine gift, the alphabet has been seen not just as a collection of arbitrary signs but as the direct visual embodiment of meaning. Pythagoreans, Kabbalists, neo-Platonists, and medieval Catholic mystics regarded the alphabet as a code that explained the universe. Drucker (art history, Yale) examines these and other ideas about the origins and inherent meanings of the alphabet, relating them to their intellectual milieu. She also discusses developments in the forms of the letters. She notes, for example, how modern typefaces, first developed in the late 18th century, embody Enlightenment philosophy. Her well-written discussion is enriched with over 300 illustrations drawn from important texts and documents. "
