What is the difference between alphabetic and Greek letters??
Answers
Step-by-step explanation:
Like the Greek alphabet, the English alphabet also has vowels. You probably remember the vowels as a, e, i, o, u, and sometimes y. In fact, our word “alphabet" comes from the first two letters of the Greek alphabet: alpha and beta! While the English alphabet has 26 letters, the Greek alphabet has 24 letters.

Both Latin and modern Greek alphabets are a development of the ancient Greek alphabets used by various Greek dialects of antiquity.
The above table shows the development from the Phoenician to the various alphabets used by the ancients Greeks.
The modern Greek language has dropped 4 letters from the 27 of the original alphabet. Namely, it dropped the digamma, Koppa, and sampi.
The Latin alphabet dropped just one letter, the sampi but at the same time changed the writing format and function of some others. By studying the above table you can see the differences which are very obvious.
