ALPHABET HISTORY
The alphabet is a set of characters of symbols used to communicate in a written form in a specific language. These characters may be different according to each nationality, but…
How did we get it?
This was a large process that started in the early days of civilization. People started searching a form of communication.
The first people that write things, draw symbols on rocks or shells; these symbols represented things of their daily life.
The Hunterer-gatherers, the name gave to the people that hunted animals and gathered nuts and berries for food, drew on cave walls or on animal hides to tell us how to hunt animals or where to find them. People were using a system of symbols to represent people, places and things.
The best example of this was developed in Egypt where hieroglyphs were used. Symbols were also used to represent water, buildings, food and other parts of life.
But the idea of an alphabet in which one symbol represents one sound, was fist used in Egypt in 1990 B.C.
The ancient Greeks adapted this alphabet and created their own. The ancient Romans refined it until it looks the same as the one we have. Now the idea of putting letters together to form words was born.
Towards 1000 BC the evolution of 4 other alphabets occurred: The Canaanites, Aramaic, South Semitic and Greeks Aramaic alphabet.
You can see by looking at letters from the Roman alphabet that these letters survive in our modern alphabet.
