How Every Letter from Our Alphabet Came to Be [Video]

Ever wondered how each letter of the English alphabet came to be? Dive into the fascinating journey with language expert Olly Richards as he unveils the origins of every letter, from A to Z. Each letter carries its own unique story, starting as pictograms with little resemblance to their modern forms. Through a journey spanning ancient cultures and languages, these symbols evolve, often passing through Greek and Latin influences before settling into the familiar shapes we know today.
