    Hi, All

    ===========
    The Greek alphabet has been used to write the Greek language since the
    late ninth or early eighth century BC.[3][4] It is derived from the
    earlier Phoenician alphabet,[5] and was the first alphabetic script in
    history to have distinct letters for vowels as well as consonants. In
    Archaic and early Classical times, the Greek alphabet existed in many different local variants, but, by the end of the fourth century BC, the Euclidean alphabet, with twenty-four letters, ordered from alpha to
    omega, had become standard and it is this version that is still used to
    write Greek today. These twenty-four letters (each in uppercase and
    lowercase forms) are: Α α, Β β, Γ γ, Δ δ, Ε ε, Ζ ζ, Η η, Θ θ, Ι ι, Κ κ,
    Λ λ, Μ μ, Ν ν, Ξ ξ, Ο ο, Π π, Ρ ρ, Σ σ/ς, Τ τ, Υ υ, Φ φ, Χ χ, Ψ ψ, and Ω ω.

    The Greek alphabet is the ancestor of the Latin and Cyrillic scripts.[6]
    Like Latin and Cyrillic, Greek originally had only a single form of each letter; it developed the letter case distinction between uppercase and lowercase in parallel with Latin during the modern era. Sound values and conventional transcriptions for some of the letters differ between
    Ancient and Modern Greek usage, because the pronunciation of Greek has
    changed significantly between the fifth century BC and today. Modern and Ancient Greek also use different diacritics. Apart from its use in
    writing the Greek language, in both its ancient and its modern forms,
    the Greek alphabet today also serves as a source of technical symbols
    and labels in many domains of mathematics, science and other fields. ===========

    Bye, All
