How did so many languages end up with such similar alphabets?
Most European languages seems to share a very large amount of their respective alphabets. The pronunciation may be different but the symbol is the same.
Why?
You're viewing a single thread.
Because most of them are based on very few languages, e.g. Latin.
But the Latin alphabet looks very different from the alphabet you see in most of these countries I'm referring to
Dark green is Latin based. It's like almost all of Europe. What countries do you speak of then?
English, French, German, Spanish. The main languages descended from Latin. They all have extremely similar alphabets that imo don't resemble Latin characters at all.
You sure you've seen thr Latin alphabet? Maybe you've mixed it up with Greek? I'm not trying to be mean or anything, I'm just really confused... the pronunciation is certainly different but the characters are mostly same
You are completely correct that's exactly what I did lmao I apologize for the confusion.
This is adorable - we're all human though, fortunately humble pie tastes great
Jajaja I read your comment a few times and only got more confused. Latin actually partially comes from Greek which is why there are several letters in common Edit: accidentally posted Spanish Wikipedia, my bad
