  Alphabet - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The word "alphabet" itself is popularly believed to come from alpha and beta, the first two letters of the Greek alphabet, but some etymologists argue that instead the word derives from aleph and bet, the first two letters of the Phoenician alphabet (an abjad) which later gave rise to the Hebrew alphabet.
The term "alphabet" is used by linguists and paleographers in a wider and a narrower sense.
The earliest known alphabet in the wider sense is the Wadi el-Hol script, believed to be an abjad, which through its successor Phoenician became the ancestor of or inspiration for all later alphabets; the first alphabet in the narrower sense was the Greek alphabet.

But the prototype of today's Bulgarian alphabet is the Cyrillic alphabet, assumed to have been composed by the pupils of Cyril and Methodius who were warmly welcomed in Bulgaria in the late 9th century.
Twenty-four of the letters were identical with the letters of the Greek alphabet, but a number of letters were added for the characteristic sounds of the old Bulgarian language.

 Georgian alphabet (Mkhedruli)
The Mkhedruli alphabet developed from an older Georgian alphabet known as Nuskha-khucuri between the 11th and 13th centuries.
However, in the writings of a linguist called Akaki Shanidze (1887-1987) and in works written in his honour, letters from the Asomtavruli alphabet are used to mark proper names and the beginning of sentences.
