evolution of the english alphabet

The modern English alphabet consists of 26 letters, many but not all derived from the Latin alphabet. The classical Latin alphabet had 23 letters, 21 derived from the Etruscan. In medieval times the letter J became differentiated from I, and U and W became differentiated from V, resulting in the 26-letter alphabet of modern English.
