How many bits are required to encode all 26 letters of English alphabets?

Five. 5 bits gives 32 combinations. Early computers and telex machines used a five bit paper tape code. You use all blank (0) as tape leader and the other non-letter combinations for CR, LF, space, number shift and letter shift.


Why do caribbeans who speaks English has to take a life in the UK test and Poland and these other places who can't speak one bit of England comes to England to work and have no test to take.?

Because black people are not wanted any more and are being pushed away slowly from this country after being used for many years.


How many bits you need to represent an alphabet letter?

Bit -- Value 1 -- 1 11 -- 3 111 -- 7 1111 -- 15 11111 -- 31 111111 -- 63 1111111 -- 127 11111111 -- 255 111111111-- 511 1111111111 -- 1023 Therefore - 10 bits would be more than adequate (unless you had to represent capitals and lower case - in which case you would need one more bit).


What is the bitrate of the signal in which bit lasts for 0.001 seconds?

The bit rate of a signal in which the time per bit is know can be easily calculated. The bit rate for a signal where a bit lasts for 0.001 seconds can be found directly by inverting the time per bit. But let's look at it this way. Your bit takes 0.001 seconds to be completed. That's 1/1000th of a second. That's a rate of 1/1000th of a second per bit, isn't it? Yes, it is. But bit rate is bits per second, and you have seconds per bit, right? Yes, you do. It turns out that 1/1000th of a second per bit is exactly equal to one bit per 1/1000th of a second. It is most important that this is clear. Your bit rate is one bit per thousandth of a second. But wait a minute. Bit rate is normally measures in "x" number of bits per one second, and the bit rate here is expressed here as one bit per 1/1000th of a second. Here's what it looks like: 1 bit________________________1/1000th seconds Looks kinda ugly, but that's what it is. Now multiply both the numerator (1 bit) and the denominator (1/1000th seconds) by 1000. That makes the denominator turn into a 1 which is what is needed to convert this mess into bits per 1 second. The numerator will be come 1000. The answer is now clear. It's 1000 bits per one second, or 1000 bits per second, or 1000 bps, or 1k bps.


How many years of English language?

Your question is a bit too vague for a definite answer. Old English dates back to before 900 BCE, but bears little resemblance to modern English. The Norman invasion in 1066 introduced French to Old English, resulting in Middle English. This is the language used by Chaucer. Modern English was largely solidified during Elizabethan England. A lot of Shakespeare's terms helped to really settle some of the rules we use today. Even so, most of us today have a hard time easily recognizing the English of Shakespeare's time. I suppose you could argue that there's an American English that developed during the time of the Revolution and the founding of the United States.

How do you pronounce the letter z?

The latin alphabet (The one used in Latin, English, and many other languages) traces it's roots back to the anciend Greek alphabet (and a bit further) where it is pronounced Zeta and after a while when English started it was pronounced Zed.
