Where was the alphbet originated?

This depends on what alphabet you mean. The Latin alphabet commonly used today to write english (and many other languages) got its start around the first century BC in Rome. Before then, the archaic latin alphabet had a few letters that looked/sounded much as they do today: A, B, C, and O, for example, but many of its letters were only vaguely like what we're used to. There have been changes to the "classic" latin alphabet in the last 2,100 years -- the addition of J, U, and W, and the decrease in the use of ligatures like ae and oe (imagine those smushed together).
