Phoenician character
The Phoenicians lived in the eastern Mediterranean in what is
modern day Lebanon.

The Phoenicians were responsible for what is refutably the development of
the greatest invention of humanity.Many
characters such as 0 , W , 'K' and 'X' are perfectly recognizable and have
changed little through the centuries.

The Greeks adopted the characters of the Phoenician system, such as aleph (a)
and beth (b), from which they developed their alphabet.By around 800 BC the Greeks had added other characters to their alphabet,
which became the basis of the modern day Hebrew and Arabic scripts.Indeed, the word
alphabet is the union of the Greek characters alpha and beta.

The boustrophedon writing style is called the 'ox plough method' because the lines
of text are written and read in opposite directions.

Vowels and spaces
The Greeks developed vowels, which created a
complete and flexible phonetic. The insertion of spaces
between words and diacritical marks was a further
development that helped facilitate reading and
comprehension.

Cyrillic languages
Cyrillic alphabets are those based on Glagolitic (an alphabet developed by
missionaries during the 9th century to translate the Bible for the Great Moravia
region) and used for Slavic languages such as Russian.

Semitic and Aramaic languages
Aramaic developed from Phoenician around 900 BC in what is modern Syria and
south east Turkey.It is a Semitic language that was a precursor for Arabic and
Hebrew, which it closely resembles.Aramaic is still spoken in parts of Syria, Iraq, Turkey
and Iran.

The Roman alphabet
The 26-letter Roman alphabet that we use today was formed from the Greek
alphabet and spread through the Roman empire.

Numbers are constructed by stringing the blocks together.For
example 2006 is MMVI.

The modern Latin Alphabet consists of 25 upper - and lower case
letters with ten numerals and a variety of symbols, punctuation marks
and accents that are employed by various different languages.
Lowercase letters from cursive (joined up) versions of the uppercase
letters
