Who invented the alphabet that you use today?
Asked by Wiki User
The history of the alphabet is believed to have begun in Ancient Egypt, more than a millennium into the history of writing. The first consonantal alphabet found has emerged around 2000 BCE to represent the language of Semitic workers in Egypt, and was derived from the alphabetic principles of the Egyptian hieroglyphs. Nearly all alphabets in the world today either descend directly from this development or were inspired by its design

What is the language with the shortest alphabet?
Asked by Wiki User
There are two languages that are candidates for the world's shortest alphabet, depending on how you define the sounds of the language:
The Central dialect of Rotokas possesses one of the world's smallest phoneme inventories. The alphabet consists of twelve letters, representing eleven phonemes. Rotokas has a vowel-length distinction (that is, all vowels have a short and long counterpart) but otherwise lacks distinctive suprasegmental features such as contrastive tone or stress.
The Pirahã language is one of the phonologically simplest languages known, comparable to Rotokas and Hawaiian. There is a claim that Pirahã has as few as ten phonemes, one fewer than Rotokas, but this requires analyzing [k] as an underlying /hi/. Although such a phenomenon is odd cross-linguistically, Ian Maddieson has found in researching Pirahã data that /k/ does indeed exhibit an unusual distribution in the language.[citation needed]
The 'ten phoneme' claim also does not consider the tones of Pirahã, at least two of which are phonemic (marked by an acute accent and either unmarked or marked by a grave accent in Everett), bringing the number of phonemes to at least twelve. Sheldon (1988) claims three tones, high (¹), mid (²) and low (³).

Why was phonetic alphabet invented?
Asked by Wiki User
During WW1 a radio transmission was broadcast 'Send reinforcement's, we are going to advance', however, what was heard at the other end was 'Send four-and-sixpence, we are going to a dance'. It was recognised that the use of phonetic alphabet was required in order to clarify any misunderstandings, especially as a 'B' may sound like a 'D' - so in order to do this, this phonetic alphabet was used:-
A - AlphaB - BravoC - DeltaE - EchoF - FoxtrotG - GolfH - HotelI - IndiaJ - JulietK - KiloL - LimaM - MikeN - NovemberO - OscarP - ParaQ - QuebecR - RomeoS - SierraT - TangoU - UniformV - VictorW - WhiskeyX - X-rayY - YankeeZ - Zulu
