The history of the alphabet started in ancient Egypt. By 2700 BCE Egyptian writing had a set of some 24 hieroglyphs which are called uniliterals, to represent syllables that begin with a single consonant of their language, plus a vowel (or no vowel) to be supplied by the native speaker.
Your answer is in your question--"alphabet" is based on the first two letters of the Greek alphabet "alpha" and "beta."
The first vowel in the alphabet is "A."
The Greek alphabet was based on the Phoenician alphabet, which as not a "true" alphabet. It was something called an 'abjad' (using only consonants)-Greek was the first language to use a "true" alphabet, consisting of both vowels and consonants. The Phoenician alphabet only used consonants, with some consonants used for vowel sounds. Phoenician is an alphabet as well as a writing system, Phoenician alphabet unlike the complex characters used in Cuneiform scripts, and Egyptian Hieroglyphics to form words was very difficult to learn, and later to understand. The simplicity of the phonics system of the Phoenician alphabet helped it to become popular and was expanded upon by the Greek alphabet, which was later a base for the Latin alphabet and Runic alphabet
The Phoenicians contributed greatly to written communication by developing the first phonetic alphabet, where each symbol represents a sound. This innovation made writing more accessible and allowed for a more precise and flexible representation of spoken language. The phonetic alphabet served as the foundation for many writing systems that followed.
The English alphabet is a modified version of the Latin alphabet also called the Roman alphabet. This was developed from the Greek alphabet and the letter 'Alpha' or 'A' is the first letter in the Greek alphabet so it carried over.

Because the numeric and alphabetic code which is phenomenal is contributed to a which leads us to b ------------------------- The English alphabet starts with "A" because the Greek alphabet, which is the principle source of our alphabet, starts with "A." Actually it because a is for Adam which was the first person on earth so :P
all of the answers are correct KKK kool kids klub......we have the awnsers Noob
They created one of the first alphabets which later mutated into the greek, roman and eventually our modern English alphabet
It depends on how you define "alphabet"The Egyptians were the first to create any form of phonetic symbol. They had an alphabet with 24 consonants that they mixed in with logo-grams (symbols representing whole words).The Phoenicians were the first to have an entirely phonetic-based writing system (an alphabet of 22 consonants).The Greeks were the first to have a full alphabet of both consonants and vowels.
The first vowel in the alphabet is "A."
The first civilization started in Mesopotamia, which is located in present-day Iraq and parts of Syria and Iran. Factors that contributed to its development include the fertile land provided by the Tigris and Euphrates rivers, the invention of writing, the development of complex social structures, and advancements in agriculture and technology.
