Greek has letters for consonants and vowels, and is the first writing system to have both.

The Hebrew alphabet only has consonants, and originally had no way of writing vowels. A system for indicating vowels using dots and dashes was developed in the 10th century and is used today in some books, particularly prayer books, poetry books, and Children's Books. But most publications do not include vowels.
