alphabet
Created in the seventh century BC, it is named after Etruscan.
Etruscan
Based on the alphabet, the Etruscan alphabet is derived from
Greek alphabet
. Of the original twenty-six Etruscan letters, the Romans adopted twenty-one. The original Latin letters were: A, B, C (for /g/ and /k/), D, E, F, zeta (the Greek word for I and J), H, I (for I and J), K, L, M, N, O, P, Q, R (although written as P for a long time), S, T, V (for U, V, and W), X. Later, the Greek letter x was abandoned and replaced with a new letter G. After the conquest of Greece in the first century BC, the Greek letters Y and Z, which were common at the time, were adopted and placed at the end of the alphabet. Thus, the new Latin alphabet contains twenty-three letters. It was not until the Middle Ages that J (distinguished from I) and the letters U and W (distinguished from V) were added.

To be marked, that is

The latter is used only on vowels where it is necessary to specify them. Ancient texts and modern common texts generally do not use diacritics.
Latin word stress does not distinguish meaning, but position is fixed. There are no light or heavy sounds in monosyllabic words. The stress position of polysyllabic words is usually no more than the penultimate or third syllable, and is related to the length of the syllable. The length of a syllable is related both to the length of the vowel - a syllable with a long vowel must be a long syllable - and to the composition of the syllable

They also used the Latin alphabet. Many languages that didn't have their own writing before, like

Languages also use the Latin alphabet to record their own language. The Latin alphabet consists of the following 26 letters:
A B C D E F G H I J K L M N O P Q R S T U V W X Y Z
a b c d e f g h i j k l m n o p q r s t u v w x y z
Classical Latin has only 23 of these letters (J, U, and W are not included).
The letter K is used only before A in very few numerals, and can be replaced by C.

There is no dispute that these letters are primarily derived from the Etruscan alphabet. The pronunciation of the letter "C" amply demonstrates this.
In countries that use the Latin alphabet, dark green indicates that the official word "F" is derived from (

The original Etruscan and Latin alphabets were used to denote the /w/ sound, whereas "FH" was originally used to denote the /f/ sound. The Romans later simplified "FH" to "F", and the letter has been used ever since to denote the /f/ sound.

Pre-literary Latin (before 250 BC), Archaic Latin (250 BC - 90 BC), Classical Latin (Classical Latin) 80 BC to 1st century AD), Classical Late Latin (14-200 AD), Late Latin (200-600 AD), and

Amat pater f? lium.

The above six sentences mean the same thing. If we want to express that a son loves his father, we need to change the case. There are also six word orders for this sentence: "Filius patrem amat." The others are omitted.

English belongs to the same family as Latin (
Indo-European
Different language families (English belongs to
The Germanic language family
And Latin belongs to
Italian group
) and are therefore grammatically different. Attempts by modern English writers to apply Latin grammar to English, such as imposing a law forbidding the use of adverbs between to and verbs, were unsuccessful in their application to everyday speech. Still, that's more than half
English vocabulary
It comes from Latin. Many English words have evolved from Romance languages, such as French or Italian. These Romance languages, in turn, evolved from Latin (e.g. Latin: Mercs → French: merci→ English: mercy), some evolved directly from Latin (e.g. Latin: Sernus → English: serene), and some were adopted without modification (e.g. Latin: Lala rva→ English: larva). It can be seen that a considerable number of English words have evolved from Latin. In addition, some Latin words are composed of
Greek language
Evolved from (e.g. Greek: sch lacla → Latin: sch lacla → Old English: sc lacl →
Modern English
: school). English is used so much
Borrowed word
After that, it really enriches the original monotonous English vocabulary.
Many people like to refer to A-Z as"
English alphabet
In fact, it should be called"
Latin alphabet
"Or" Roman alphabet ". Because the 26 letters A-Z in English are Latin letters taken from Latin.

Objective case
The words "is," "mother," "brother," and "ten" are actually words that have been spoken by Europeans and Asians in some way for thousands of years. So far, it's not clear how old these words really are. Although their spelling and pronunciation have varied across time and space, the basic elements of these symbols of the human mind have survived across such time and space to the present day.

These "cognates" in the table are related to each other. Among them, however, the exception is English
Anglo-Saxon
No language is directly derived from another language. Every other language can be traced back to a common ancestor. This language is now extinct, but its existence can be inferred from the surviving evidence of the language. The ancestral languages of all these "relatives" or cognates (now extinct) are generally called
Proto-Indo-European
Because its derivations appear near present-day India (
Sanskrit
,
Iranian
), also in present-day Europe (Greek, Latin,
The Germanic language
,
Celtic
,
Slavic
, in Baltic). The oldest of these languages are Sanskrit, Iranian, Greek and Latin, all dating back to BC.
English is derived from Anglo-Saxon, which is cognate with Latin.
Anglo-Saxon
The language had earlier borrowed some words from Latin. In the 7th century, more Latin words were absorbed, largely under the influence of the writings of St. Augustine of Canterbury (not the famous St. Augustine of Hippo), who had been sent by Pope Gregory to convert the Angles to Christianity. in
William the Conqueror
He ruled in 1066
England
After that,
Norman
French became the upper-class language, and Anglo-Saxon was regarded as the inferior language spoken by the defeated and serfs. Anglo-Saxon no longer is
Literary language
It has become a part of everyday life
Local dialect
. However, after another two centuries or so, the Anglo-Saxon language was reasserted as the descendants of the Normans finally integrated with the local English. But because of its own poverty, it had to borrow hundreds of French words in literature, thought, and culture before it became a literary language. In the 13th and 14th centuries, as borrowing increased,
Middle English
Slowly developed, and its representative died in 1400
Geoffrey Chaucer
. In addition to these French words with Latin roots that were absorbed, there were other words that were borrowed directly from Latin. By the 16th and 17th centuries,
Renaissance
This process was reinforced by a renewed interest in classical works. Since then, Latin has been the source of many new words, especially scientific words.

Since English is spoken through

And Latin
homology
Moreover, English has borrowed many words directly or indirectly from Latin, so it is easy to use English words to illustrate homology and derivation. For example, the word "brother" is cognate with the Latin word "frter" and "brother".
fraternal
"(Fraternal) is obviously derived from" frater."
