| | Alphabet - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | An alphabet is a complete standardized set of letters—basic written symbols—each of which roughly represents a phoneme of a spoken language, either as it exists now or as it may have been in the past. |
 | | Although manual alphabets are a direct continuation of the local alphabet (both the British two-handed and the French/American one-handed alphabets retain the forms of the Latin alphabet, as the does Devanagari, and the does Hangul), Braille, semaphore, maritime signal flags, and the Morse codes are essentially arbitrary geometric forms. |
 | | The Aramaic alphabet, which evolved from Phoenician in the 7th century BC and was used by the Persian Empire, appears to be the ancestor of nearly all of the modern alphabets of Asia. |
