Latin alphabet

The Latin alphabet is the set of letters used by the ancient Romans to write Classical Latin, later augmented with lower-case letters to write Medieval Latin. Its expansion into the core 26-letter modern inventory (standardised today as the ISO basic Latin alphabet, which is utilized by Modern Latin), was motivated by vernacular languages.
