The alphabet we use today is called the Latin alphabet, and it has been around for over 2,000 years! 📚

Did you know that the word “alphabet” comes from the first two letters of the Greek alphabet, alpha and beta? 📖

The English alphabet has 26 letters—but some languages, like Spanish, have extra letters like Ñ or Ch! 📝

The letter E is the most common letter used in the English language! 🌟 It shows up in almost every word!

The letter Q is super special because it’s almost always followed by a U in English words, like in quick, quiet, and quiz. 🤔

Each letter in the alphabet has a name and a sound! For example, the letter A says “ay” like in apple 🍏, but it can also sound different in words like cake 🍰!

In old English, the alphabet had letters like Þ (thorn) and Ȝ (yogh) that aren’t used anymore! They used to represent sounds like “th” and “y.” 🧐

The letter Z used to be more important in the alphabet! But, now it’s the last letter, which makes it special! It’s the “final” letter! 🔚

Did you know that in some ancient languages, there were alphabets with more than 100 letters? That’s a LOT to remember! 😱

The alphabet is important not just for reading and writing but for making codes! You can make secret messages by mixing up the letters, like in a Caesar cipher! 🕵️‍♂️
