It's difficult to give an exact number beause it depends on how you define an alphabet and how you distinguish one from another.

If you are talking about basic writing systems, Europe has about 6:

  1. Latin (Used by most of Western Europe)
  2. Greek
  3. Cyrillic
  4. Armenian
  5. Georgian
  6. Hebrew (used by Yiddish speakers)

If you are talking about each language's version of a basic alphabet, there are hundreds.
