What is the alphabet?


assistant
The alphabet consists of 26 characters or letters than can be used to form words.  These words put together create sentences, and sentences put together create paragraphs.  Paragraphs put together create stories.  There are rules for how to form words in the English language.  Vowels A, E, I, O, U are the most used characters in words formed by the letters of the alphabet.  When words are spoken these form the sounds of the language we call English.  English is spoken as a primary language in countries like Canada, Great Britain, Australia and the United States.
