THE GREEK ALPHABET

                                               

 

The Greek alphabet has been used to write the Greek language from the late 19^th century BC and is the first European alphabet.

 

It was the first alphabet in history to have distinct letters for vowels as well as consonants.  In archaic and early classical times, the Greek alphabet existed in many local types but by the end of the 4^th century BC the Euclidean alphabet with 24 letters from Alpha to Omega had become standard and this version it is still used to write Greek today.

 

The Greek alphabet is the ancestor of the Cyrillic and Latin alphabets.  Because the pronunciation of the Greek language has changed significantly since antiquity, during the 5^th century BC, sound values and conventional transcriptions for some of the letters differ between ancient and modern Greek. 

 

But today modern and ancient Greek use different diacritics.  Apart from its use of writing the Greek language in both the ancient and modern forms, the Greek alphabet also serves as a source of technical symbols and labels in many domains of mathematics, science, and other fields.
