Best Answer

Not sure about the UK, but the U.S. English alphabet has 26 letters.

Answer:

The Modern Latin Alphabet (AKA the English Alphabet) is the standard of countries that speak English or Romance languages. It contains 26 letters in both lower and upper case.

The letter thorn (Þ, þ) pronounced as "th" was removed in the middle ages but continued to be represented with a "Y" (as in "Ye Olde Shoppe").

The letter J,j is a recent addition.

U and V used to represent one sound (the shape dependied on the location in a word) but became two distinct letters
