Answer 2

In the past people used to write in pictures, or hieroglyphs. Then about 2,500 BC people started using the alphabet. Today there are several important alphabets, but each one has a sign for each sound. Some have many signs for the same sound, and this makes it difficult to read them. The most important of the early alphabets was the Phoenician alphabet. The Phoenicians traveled around a lot and spread their alphabet across the Mediterranean and the coast of North Africa. Other countries changed the alphabet to fit their own language's sounds. Many people think their alphabet comes from the Greek alphabet, but in fact, it comes from the earlier Phoenician one.
