The Latin Alphabet Of The Divine

The Latin alphabet, also known as the Roman script, is used as the primary writing system for a vast array of languages, particularly across Europe, and has been adopted or adapted by many languages in Africa, Asia, Oceania, and the Americas, often due to European colonization and influence.
