Best Answer

American (and British) English use the Roman alphabet, which the Romans develope from the Greek alphabet, and the Greeks in turn based their alphabet on various existing alphabets in use in the Mediterranean. So, many, many people have been at work on it over the centuries. In other words, nobdy sat down and invented the alphabet.
