English solved

The modern Latin alphabet evolved from a combination of Anglo-Saxon runes and the ancient Latin script. In the fifth century, the Anglo-Saxons arrived in the British Isles and brought with them an alphabet that formed the basis for the Old English language.

​Later, in the seventh century, the Latin script, which is more reminiscent of the alphabet we use today, was introduced throughout the region.

Latin and Old English were used concurrently for several centuries until the latter evolved into Middle English circa the early 11th century. Around this time, a hybrid alphabet emerged, consisting of 23 of the standard letters we still use today, plus three runic symbols to represent the sounds “th,” “wy,” and “eth.” [quare became why]

​The runic symbols eventually fell out of use, and the letters “U” and “W” were added to the Latin alphabet in the Middle Ages. Finally, in the 1600s, the 26th and final letter was added: “J.” [Iesus became Jesus]
