Later, in order to facilitate the carving and hand-written, and in order to make the vowel "V" and the consonant "V" with distinction, then the original "V" into the bottom of the round vowel and as a "U"; and The two "V" even with a change of a consonant to do with the "W", the "W" has been the emergence of the 11th century is about. It was then "I" and the other a little change and map out a consonant letter "J". In this way, the original 23 letters combined with "U", "W", "J" of the three letters, on the form the 26 letters of the alphabet. The Middle Ages, the basic shape of the Latin alphabet, the text later in the West (including, of course, in English) by it evolved. The original set in 1993, "the history of Grand View Garden"人們都知道,英文有26個字母。
