They borrowed and slightly changed the alphabet used by the Greeks, who themselves had adapted letters used by speakers of Semitic languages on the eastern shore of the Mediterranean (you can see a nine-minute video on how the shapes changed if you go to  HYPERLINK "https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9Tx7NxYG5Vw" https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9Tx7NxYG5Vw and a short animation on the same topic at  HYPERLINK "http://grza.net/GIS/Alphabet%20Evolution.gif" http://grza.net/GIS/Alphabet%20Evolution.gif). The Greeks also borrowed, with small changes, the original Semitic names for these letters (alpha, beta, gamma etc.) but the Romans seem to have made new, shorter ones based simply on the sound each letter represented. The Roman names were probably as follows: A B C D E F G H I K L M N O P Q R  b c d  ef g h + k el em en M p qk er S T V X Y Z es t k eks + Graeca zta The pronunciation of these letter names, together with words for animal cries which use the sounds of each letter can be heard at  HYPERLINK "http://www.learnlatinlanguage.com/DEMALPH.HTM#ALPHABET" http://www.learnlatinlanguage.com/DEMALPH.HTM#ALPHABET The modern English names are very similar, the main change being that from the first of the two sounds in /ei/ to /i:/, a switch that also explains why English me is now pronounced as /mi:/. Notice that the original Roman alphabet had only one letter for both `v and `u and that this was usually written `V when a capital. This letter acted as both a vowel and also as a consonant (with the sound of English `w). In the same way, `I was originally both a vowel and a consonant (with the sound of English `y in yes). During the Middle Ages, when a sound similar to English `v entered the spoken language, `V was used for this and a separate `U and `W were added. Later on, `J , which emerged simply as a variant of `I without any special significance, came to be used for the consonantal sound of `I (the current English pronunciation of `J as an affricate is a result of sound change in medieval French). In printing Latin texts today it is conventional to use a separate `U and `V but not to use `J , hence iuvenis, ikstitia etc. However, up till the early 20th century `j was often used, as in the standard Lewis an(-.:eghi 7 9 : e f  RTUĵļļĵļwheh0J\h gh\ h\jhU\h ho(hkhc1VmH sH hp1h0J hhjhUh hc1V5CJhc1V0JCJo(jhc1VCJU hc1VCJo(jhc1VCJU hc1VCJhc1V.( d   MNNPgd dG$gdOdd !.1LM,-BDIS !"-/79;<=fgκȭΛh]hCJnH tH h]hCJnH o(tH h]hCJo( hr CJo( hCJ hCJo( he_CJo( hb?BCJ hb?BCJo( h1(0CJ h1(0CJo( hc1Vo( hc1V6 hko( hOo(hc1V h 'o(9"$8:FPzIJĉ׉Ă{sohV|jhV|U hMcCJo( h1(0CJo(hh5CJ\o(hX=h0JCJo(j%hX=hCJU hCJjhCJUU hCJo(hb?Bhb?BCJH*o(hO5CJ\hb?Bhb?B5CJ\ hPCJo( hb?BCJo( hb?BCJ+d Short dictionary (published in 1879 and available free on-line at  HYPERLINK "http://www.athirdway.com/glossa" www.athirdway.com/glossa).
