The **Greek alphabet** has been used to write the Greek language since the late 9th or early 8th century BC. It is derived from the earlier Phoenician alphabet and was the earliest known alphabetic script to have distinct letters for vowels as well as consonants. Here are the uppercase and lowercase forms of the 24 letters in the Greek alphabet: 1. **Alpha (Α α)** 2. **Beta (Β β)** 3. **Gamma (Γ γ)** 4. **Delta (Δ δ)** 5. **Epsilon (Ε ε)** 6. **Zeta (Ζ ζ)** 7. **Eta (Η η)** 8. **Theta (Θ θ)** 9. **Iota (Ι ι)** 10. **Kappa (Κ κ)** 11. **Lambda (Λ λ)** 12. **Mu (Μ μ)** 13. **Nu (Ν ν)** 14. **Xi (Ξ ξ)** 15. **Omicron (Ο ο)** 16. **Pi (Π π)** 17. **Rho (Ρ ρ)** 18. **Sigma (Σ σ /ς)** 19. **Tau (Τ τ)** 20. **Upsilon (Υ υ)** 21. **Phi (Φ φ)** 22. **Chi (Χ χ)** 23. **Psi (Ψ ψ)** 24. **Omega (Ω ω)** The Greek alphabet is the ancestor of the Latin and Cyrillic scripts. 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. The pronunciation of Greek has changed significantly between the 5th century BC and today, resulting in differences in sound values and conventional transcriptions for some of the letters¹.
