Where did the Roman alphabet come from?

Answer by  rbiales (3441)

The Roman alphabet was borrowed from the Greek and was largely modified from the Cumae variant of Greek writing to be easy to carve into stone, with lots of straight chisel marks. The alphabet as we know it was completed with the addition of the letter w in the Middle ages.

This originated in the Sahara Desert, in a place only known to the camels. A human made it there once, and noticed that the camels wrote in the sand with their hooves to communicate with each other He wrote down their alphabet on paper, took it back to civilisation, and thus the Romans claimed it as their own.
