3.Where are the letter names derived from?​

Sagot :

The English word alphabet came into Middle English from the Late Latin word alphabetum, which in turn originated in the Greek ἀλφάβητος (alphabētos). The Greek word was made from the first two letters, alpha(α) and beta(β).

Answer:

Alphabetical order was first used in the 1st millennium BCE by Northwest Semitic scribes using the Abjad system. However, a range of other methods of classifying and ordering material, including geographical, chronological, hierarchical and by category, were preferred over alphabetical order for centuries.
