Who invented ABCD?
It was invented by Bruce Thomson in 1980.
In 1995, John Darnell of Yale University made a discovery that sparked a renewed interest in the alphabet. Darnell's team analyzed two letters engraved on stones in Egypt. These resembled the hieroglyphic style of 3800 years ago. Of these, both the words alpha and beta are formed by combining the alphabet, which means 'alphabet' and is called the alphabet. There are 26 letters in the English alphabet. There are 52 letters in the Hindi alphabet. Researchers attribute its origin to a type of Protestant astronomical writing that originated in Egypt between 1800 and 1900 BCE. Based on this ancient premise, the Phoenicians developed the first widely used alphabet some 700 years later. As the saying goes, necessity is the mother of invention. The modern way we see the world today is the result of this need. Speaking of whereabouts, the same adage is true here as well. The modern English alphabet of 26 letters may be called the Roman alphabet, but it was not invented by the Romans. He only corrected and refined the written language. It has developed in its own way in many countries over thousands of years and is still happening. Most of the letters in the alphabet represent ancient images of animals, objects, and figures.
History of english alphabet
Many images and symbols were made by the Egyptians in 3000 BC. Each picture is in the shape of a letter. It was called a hieroglyph. But this alphabet was too slow for the business world. Especially for the Phoenicians of 1200 BC, who at that time were the world's greatest merchants. So they developed only those letters in which the symbol could function. Each symbol represents a sound and some symbols are combined to make the sound of a word. The Greeks assimilated the Phoenician alphabet in 800 BC, but found it lacked consonant sounds. Whereas they were needed in their own language. Then he took 19 Phoenician letters and added five letters to his script. In this way a letter of 24 letters is formed. The Romans settled the alphabet in 114 AD. Later, the Normans in England added letters like J, V and W to this alphabet. It was thus the foundation on which today's English alphabet rests.

2. To know about the shortest words i.e. question and exclamation marks, we have to go to France of the year 1862. Victor Hugo was a great writer. He had finished his novel and went on vacation. But he was curious to know how the books sold, as well as to make the smallest of signs. So he wrote a letter to the publisher? The publishers were no less imaginative, wanting to record the shortest writing with Hugo, so they responded by writing! This question and answer combined the smallest letters of the alphabet, which were called symbols.
3. Interestingly, the credit for inventing the longest sentence also goes to Hugo. This sentence is also from his novel, which had 823 letters, 93 commas, 51 semicolons, 4 dashes. This sentence was about three pages long.
4. 'Underground' is the only word in the English language that begins and ends with the letters 'UND'.
5. The word 'taxi' is pronounced alike by Indian, English, French, German, Swedish, Portuguese and Dutch.
