...The Latin alphabet, also called the Roman alphabet, is the most widely used alphabetic writing system in the world today. It evolved from the western variety of the Greek alphabet called the Cumaean alphabet, which was borrowed and modified by the Etruscans who ruled early Rome, which alphabet was then adapted and further modified by the ancient Roman to write the Latin language.

It is fine to say Latin alphabet, but people do get confused between Latin and Spanish, due to the western hemisphere trying to separate their cultural identity from Spain. The front of any good Latin dictionary or grammar book discusses the alphabet. You can find a free grammar book to download at www.textkit.com. |

Does anyone know where I can The only sites I can find will
translate the words into the
Russian alphabet (which I
can't read or type). I'm
looking to write a Russian
character into one of my
stories and I would like to be
able to have him speak in
Russian occasionally and have
my readers to be able to
phonetically understand him.

When did Germany change from I can't pin-point when, but I
remember in high school, my
German teacher said it was
Hitler. He said if Germany was
to take over the world, they
had to adopt the Latin
alphabet.
I don't know if that's true or
not, but I know he truly
believed that. I am bi-racial,
and he was born in
East-Prussia. He was my
favorite teacher, and I was
his favorite student, so no
racial undertones there.
Whatever happened, I'm glad it
changed over. Blackletter
(Fraktur, Schwabacher) is hard
to read, especially when you
gotta remember what letter is
what.

it was changed in 1942 (the nazis did it), but there are still some books that are printed in blackletter script. most germans can still read it because it's very similar to latin script. |
