Is the alphabet a language?

No. An alphabet is not a language. It is a set of symbols used to write a language. One alphabet can be used to write more than one language. Because an alphabet represents sounds, to some degree any alphabet can be used to write any language, although most languages use one preferred alphabet.For example, Italian, French, Spanish, German and English are all written with essentially the same alphabet, called the Latin Alphabet. Russian is among the languages usually written using the Cyrillic alphabet, which looks very different from the Latin Alphabet. But it is possible to render the sounds of Russian in the Latin alphabet so that those who are only familiar with that alphabet can read and understand names and other simple written words. This widely used process sis called transliteration.An alphabet is what makes the written part of a language. Each letter has a certain sound that it makes (typically one). These sounds are called phonemes, or the smallest posited linguistically distinctive unit of sound.When letters are put together, they produce different series of sounds, making words, and words (as well as rules of how and how not to use them, like 'i before e except after c' and 'never start a sentence with a conjunction'), and words make up languages.
