The oldest European alphabet still in use today is the Latin alphabet, which originated from the Etruscan alphabet around the 7th century BCE. It was adapted from the Greek alphabet, which itself was derived from the Phoenician script. The Latin alphabet has undergone various modifications over the centuries but remains the foundation for many modern languages, including English, Spanish, and French. Its widespread adoption and continued use make it a significant historical and linguistic development in Europe.
