Latin letters did not evolve directly from Hebrew. Here is the Hebrew alphabet. You decide. In my opinion, none of the letters are even close to their equivalent letters in the Latin alphabet:

  • א (silent)
  • ב (b or v)
  • ג (g)
  • ד (d)
  • ה (h)
  • ו (v, historically w)
  • ז (z)
  • ח (ch, historically h)
  • ט (t, historically emphatic t)
  • י (y)
  • כ (k, kh)
  • ל (l)
  • מ (m)
  • נ (n)
  • ס (s)
  • ע (silent, historically a pharyngeal fricative)
  • פ (p, f)
  • צ (ts, historically an emphatic s)
  • ק (k, historically q, a uvular stop)
  • ר (r)
  • ש (sh)
  • ת (t)
