The ancient Phoenicians developed 30 signs to create the Semitic alphabet in 1600 BC. This alphabet is considered to be the foundation of almost all alphabets that would follow. The Greeks developed their own version of this alphabet in 1000 BC to create the Ionic alphabet. Later, the Romans adapted this to form their alphabet. This alphabet reached England in the 5th century. Almost 100 other languages were ultimately developed from the Roman alphabet.
