The Latin alphabet and Latin writing emerged in the early 7th century BC. The Latin alphabet was an adaptation of a version of the western Greek alphabet used in the Greek city of Cumae, near Naples. The Greeks had two types of alphabet, the western one and an eastern one. The western alphabet was introduced in Italy by Greeks who settled in southern Italy. It was adopted and adapted by all the native peoples of ancient Italy.
