The Latin alphabet, also known as the Roman alphabet, is the collection of letters originally used by the ancient Romans to write the Latin language.
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.

The modern Latin alphabet is used to write hundreds of different languages. Each language uses a slightly different set of letters, and they are pronounced in various ways. Some languages use the standard 26 letters, some use fewer, and others use more. This is the modern Latin alphabet as used to write English.
The letters J, U and W were added to the alphabet at a later stage to write languages other than Latin. J is a variant of I and was first used during the 16th century by Petrus Ramus. U is a variant of V. In Latin the /u/ sound was written with the letter v, e.g. IVLIVS (Julius).
