The alphabet or as it is also known "alphabet" refers to a set of letters that are structured under a specific order generally accepted within the framework of a given language. It refers to a set made up of the spellings that are intended to represent the written language which serves as one of the most important communication systems in the different existing languages. If the Spanish language is specifically referred to, this set owes its name thanks to the first three letters that compose it which are: A, B and C. The word itself originates from the late Latin "abecedarium".
The alphabet
In the alphabet, each letter is the representation of a phoneme and currently in the case of the Spanish alphabet, it is only made up of simple signs, as is the case in all languages that adopt a type of alphabetic writing. In addition to this, it is important to point out the fact that the letters " ch " and "ll" are no longer part of the alphabet, since they are considered as digraphs, that is, composed of two letters, which make up a phoneme. Words can be formed through the letters of the alphabet and it is made up of both vowels (A, E, I, O, U) and consonants. An important fact is that the sounds of the letters preceded their written form, since as is well known, manhe learned to speak long before he did write.
All the letters that make up the alphabet can also be used to make classifications and lists. As shown in the following example: "the names of the participl order of the alphabet or alphabetically", another example can be found beforehand according to the first letter of their surname, with respect to observing in dictionaries which contain the words of a language and they are ordered following the pattern of the alphabet.
According to research carried out by experts in the field, the first alphabets in the West originated from the Northern Semitic alphabet, which appeared more than 3 centuries ago. With respect to the Roman alphabet, it was used by the Etruscans from the letters of Greek origin. Initially it had only 21 letters, but with the passage of time they were expanded until reaching the 26 that are currently known.
