Latin alphabet , also called Roman alphabet , the most widely used alphabetic writing system in the world, the standard script of the English language and the languages of most of Europe and those areas settled by Europeans. Developed from the Etruscan alphabet at some time before 600 bce , it can be traced through Etruscan, Greek , and Phoenician scripts to the North Semitic alphabet used in Syria and Palestine about 1100 bce . The earliest inscription in the Latin alphabet appears on the Praeneste Fibula , a cloak pin dating from about the 7th century bce , which reads, “MANIOS MED FHEFHAKED NUMASIOI” (in Classical Latin: “Manius me fecit Numerio,” meaning “Manius made me for Numerius”). Dated not much later than this is a vertical inscription on a small pillar in the Roman Forum , and the Duenos inscription on a vase found near the Quirinal (a hill in Rome ) probably dates to the 6th century bce . Although experts disagree on the dating of these objects, the inscriptions are generally considered to be the oldest extant examples of the Latin alphabet.
The Classical Latin alphabet consisted of 23 letters, 21 of which were derived from the Etruscan alphabet. In medieval times the letter I was differentiated into I and J and V into U , V , and W , producing an alphabet equivalent to that of modern English with 26 letters. Some European languages currently using the Latin alphabet do not use the letters K and W , and some add extra letters (usually standard Latin letters with diacritical marks added or sometimes pairs of letters read as one sound).
In ancient Roman times there were two main types of Latin script, capital letters and cursive. There were also varieties of writing that mixed capitals and cursive or semicursive letters; Latin uncial script developed from such a mixed form in the 3rd century ce . In the Middle Ages many different Latin scripts developed from capital, cursive, and uncial forms. The round “humanistic” handwriting, used for copying books, and a more angular cursive script, used for legal and commercial purposes in 15th-century Italy, gave rise, respectively, to the roman and italic typefaces currently used in printing.

Proposed in 1908 as part of the new Latvian spelling by the scientific commission headed by K. Mīlenbahs , which was accepted and began to be taught in schools in 1909. Prior to that, Latvian had been written in German Fraktur , and sporadically in Cyrillic .
In native Latvian words (and in some older borrowings), o represents the sound of IPA [uə̯] (e.g., otrs [uə̯tɾs]). In more recent borrowings, it represents the original sound of the word, i.e. [o] or [oː] (e.g., opera [oːpeɾa]).

From Proto-Balto-Slavic *ō ; compare Proto-Slavic *a ( “ and, but ” ) . From Proto-Indo-European *h₁od ; compare Sanskrit आत् ( āt , “ afterwards, then, so ” ) , Avestan 𐬁𐬀𐬝 ( āat̰ , “ afterward, then ” ) , perhaps the ablative singular of *h₁e- ( “ demonstrative pronoun ” ) .
