The English language has been written using the Latin alphabet from ca. the 7th century. Since the 5th century, the Anglo-Saxon Futhorc had been used, and both alphabets continued to be used in parallel for some time. Futhorc influenced the Latin alphabet by providing it with the letters thorn þ and wynn ƿ. The letter eth ð was later devised as a modification of d, and finally yogh ȝ was created by Norman scribes from the insular g used in Old English and Irish and used alongside their Carolingian g. Additionally, the ligatures double-u w for vv, æsh æ for ae, and œthel œ for oe were in use.

In the year 1011, a writer named Byrhtferð ordered the Old English alphabet for numerological purposes.[2] He listed the 24 letters of the Latin alphabet (including ampersand) first, then 5 additional English letters, starting with the Tironian nota or ond, ⁊, which was a specifically English symbol for and:

A B C D E F G H I K L M N O P Q R S T V X Y Z

The letters A, E, I, O, U are vowels; sometimes Y and rarely W function as vowels too, but more often they are semivowels. The remaining letters are consonants. The letter most frequently used in English is E. The least frequently used letters are Q, X, and Z. The list below shows how often each letter is used:

A - Common
B - Mildly Common
C - Common
D - Mildly Frequent
E - Frequent
F - Mildly Common
G - Common
H - Mildly Common
I - Common
J - Mildly Rare
K - Mildly Rare
L - Mildly Frequent
M - Common
N - Frequent
O - Common
P - Common
Q - Rare
R - Frequent
S - Frequent
T - Frequent
U - Mildly Common
V - Mildly Rare
W - Mildly Rare
X - Rare
Y - Mildly Rare
Z - Rare

Of all the twenty-six letters of the English alphabet, "e" appears most frequently (5 times the frequency of any other letter), so to eliminate "e" ought to be the greatest challenge. To write even one paragraph without using "e" taxes one's ingenuity, but how about a whole novel without even one "e"? That novel idea certainly seems hopeless.

The Roman alphabet is the only alphabet used. Do you mean which letter? That would be 'E'.
