Best Answer

The Latins (the Romans were Latins) adopted and adapted the Cumanean alphabet to develop the Latin alphabet. This was a version of the western Greek alphabet which was used in the Greek city of Cumae, near Naples. The Greeks founded colonies (settlements) in southern Italy in the late 9th century BC and in the 8th century BC. Because they were a more advanced civilisation, these Greeks had a profound impact of all the Italic peoples they came into contact with. This included the adoption and adaptation of the western Greek alphabet by all Italic peoples for the development of their own written languages.
