The Latin alphabet occurs from the Greek alphabet, and accordingly is
derivative from the Phoenician alphabet and corresponds with the circular matrix
of Phoenician letters.
Now there are 26 letters but initially the Latin alphabet had 21 letters:

Latin letter Z has been excluded in 312 B.C.
Latin letter G is added on a place of former letter Z in 234 B.C..
Latin letters Y and Z are added for words of the Greek origin in the end of the Latin
alphabet in 1st century B.C.
Latin letters J and U are added in 16th century A.D, but earlier the sound J was
designated by means of letter I and the sound U was designated by means of letter V.
The letter W is added for the German languages.
It is obvious that letters of the primary Latin alphabet have been created on
the basis of the Greek and Phoenician letters that is shown on schemes:

The left scheme shows names of Phoenician and Greek letters and also symbols
of the Greek letters by dark color, and shows similarity of letters in the
primary Latin alphabet with Phoenician and Greek letters by red color. The right
scheme shows letters of the modern Latin alphabet, and also shows yellow and
green positions (junctions) of the circular matrix where letters have complex
ratio of sound values.
Latin letter A occurs from the Greek letter alpha and the Phoenician
letter aleth.
This letter designated a sound equivalent to Russian
in the Latin alphabet, but designates sounds equivalent to Russian
and
in the
modern Latin based alphabets.
Latin letter B occurs from the Greek letter beta and the Phoenician
letter beth.
It designates a sound equivalent to Russian
in the Latin alphabet
and in the modern Latin based alphabets.
Latin letter C designated sounds equivalent to Russian
and
in the primary Latin alphabet,
but designates sounds equivalent to Russian
in the modern
Latin based alphabets.
Takes a place of letter G and also corresponds with the Greek letter zeta and
the Phoenician letter zain, that is possible to see in the right scheme.
Latin letter D occurs from the Greek letter delta and the Phoenician
letter daleth.
It designates a sound equivalent to Russian
in the Latin alphabet and
in the modern Latin based alphabets.
Latin letter E occurs from the Greek letter epsilon and the Phoenician
letter he.
It designated a sound equivalent to Russian
in the Latin
alphabet, but designates sounds equivalent to Russian
and
in the
modern Latin based alphabets.
Latin letter F occurs from the Greek letter digamma and the Phoenician
letter waw.
It designates a sound equivalent to Russian
in the Latin alphabet and in
the modern Latin based alphabets.
The Greek letter digamma designated a sound equivalent to English W but the
Latin letter F designates a sound equivalent to Russian
though the Greek and Latin
letters have an identical symbol.
Latin letter G has been brought in the alphabet for a designation of a
sound equivalent to Russian
.
Except for sound
designates a sound
combination equivalent to Russian
in the Latin
and some derivative alphabets, that is conformable to letter J.
Takes a place of letter C and corresponds with the Greek letter gamma and the
Phoenician letter gimel that is possible to see in the right scheme.
Latin letter H occurs from the Greek letter eta and the Phoenician letter
heth.
It designates a sound equivalent to Russian
in the Latin alphabet and in the modern Latin based alphabets.
In some cases has no pronunciation. For example, digraphs PH CH TH were applied
in words of the Greek origin instead of the Greek letters phi, chi, theta, but
in essence these digraphs were read and now read in different Latin based
alphabets:
- PH as a sound equivalent to Russian
and later
;
- CH as sounds equivalent to Russian
and
, and in the English alphabet
as a sound equivalent to Russian
;
- TH as a sound equivalent to Russian
.
Latin letter I occurs from the Greek letter iota and the Phoenician
letter yodh.
It designates a sound equivalent to Russian
in the Latin and modern Latin based alphabets, but except for a sound
designates a sound equivalent to Russian
in the English
alphabet.
Latin letter J has been brought in the alphabet for a designation of a
long sound equivalent to Russian
, but designates a
sound equivalent to Russian
and also a sound equivalent to Russian
in the modern
Latin based alphabets, that is conformable to letter G.
Latin letter K occurs from the Greek letter kappa and the Phoenician
letter kaph.
It designated a sound equivalent to Russian
and it was used before letter A
unlike letter C which too designated a sound equivalent to Russian
but it was used before letters I
or E in the Latin alphabet.
This letter is used seldom in the modern Latin based alphabets.
Latin letter L occurs from the Greek letter lambda and the Phoenician
letter lamed.
It designates a sound equivalent to Russian
in the Latin and modern Latin based alphabets.
Latin letter M occurs from the Greek letter mu and the Phoenician letter
mem.
It designates a sound equivalent to Russian
in the Latin and modern Latin
based alphabets.
Latin letter N occurs from the Greek letter nu and the Phoenician letter
nun.
It designates a sound equivalent to Russian
in the Latin and modern Latin based alphabets.
Latin letter O occurs from the Greek letter omicron and the Phoenician
letter ain.
It designates a sound equivalent to Russian
in the Latin and modern Latin based alphabets, but in the English alphabet
except for a sound
designates a sound equivalent to Russian
that similarly to
letter
in the
Cyril's Slavic alphabet.
Latin letter P occurs from the Greek letter pi and the Phoenician letter
pe.
It designates a sound equivalent to Russian
in the Latin and modern Latin
based alphabets, but forms a sound equivalent to Russian
in a combination to letter H
that is interesting as letters P and F are on one numerical axis in the circular
matrix.
Latin letter Q occurs from the Greek letter qoppa and the Phoenician
letter qof.
It designates a sound equivalent to Russian
and it is used before letter U
that makes a sound combination equivalent to Russian
.
Latin letter R occurs from the Greek letter rho and the Phoenician letter
resh.
It designates a sound equivalent to Russian
in the Latin and modern Latin
based alphabets but in some cases has no pronunciation in modern alphabets.
Latin letter S occurs from the Greek letter sigma and the Phoenician
letter shin.
It designates sounds equivalent to Russian
or
in the Latin and modern Latin based alphabets.
In a combination to letter H designates a sound equivalent to Russian
.
Latin letter T occurs from the Greek letter tau and the Phoenician letter
tav.
It designates a sound equivalent to Russian
in the Latin and modern Latin
based alphabets, but in different alphabets in some cases in a combination to
letter I forms sounds equivalent to Russian
.
Latin letter U has been brought in the alphabet for a designation of a
sound equivalent to Russian
, and before
this sound was designated by letter V and consequently letters U and V are
interconnected.
Latin letter V is conformable to letter F and consequently there is a
similarity with the Greek letter digamma and the Phoenician letter waw.
Latin letter W is connection of letters VV or UU which designated a sound
equivalent to Russian
.
Letters F V U W have the common origin and consequently correspond with one
position in the circular matrix of letters that is shown in the right scheme.
Latin letter X occurs from the Greek letter xi and the Phoenician letter
samekh.
It designates a sound equivalent to Russian
in the Latin and
modern Latin based alphabets.
Latin letter Y has been brought in the alphabet for words of the Greek
origin and applied on a place of the Greek letter upsilon which designated a
sound equivalent to Russian
, but in a
Latin pronunciation began to designate sounds equivalent to Russian
or
.
Takes a common position with letters I and J in the circular matrix that is
shown in the right scheme.
Latin letter Z occurs from the Greek letter zeta and the Phoenician
letter zain.
Obviously, this letter initially meant a sound equivalent to Russian
but has been
excluded, and then brought in the alphabet for words of the Greek origin. And
then designated a sound equivalent to Russian
and it was applied on a place of the Greek letter zeta.
Takes a common position with letter C in the circular matrix that is shown in
the right scheme.
The position of letter C with positions of letters G and K in the shown circular
matrix forms a figure symmetric concerning the seventh numerical axis that is
noted by yellow color. Sound values of letters are interconnected in this yellow
figure:
- letters C and K designate an identical sound equivalent to Russian
;
- letter G designates a sound equivalent to Russian
which before was designated
by letter C;
- three letters C G K designate conformable sounds equivalent to Russian
and
.
Positions of letters S P H form a symmetric figure concerning the eighth
numerical axis that is noted by green color. In this figure there are sound
ratio according to which combinations of letters SH and PH form sounds
equivalent to Russian
and
.
If to correlate the combination of letters CH to the empty position on the seventh
numerical axis then it is possible to see one more complex figure symmetric
concerning the third numerical axis. This figure is formed by positions of
letters T S TH H CH P. In this figure too there are sound ratio according to
which combinations of letters with letter H have special sound values.
And also in the shown circular matrix there are some other sound ratio connected
with symmetric figures which are formed by positions of letters, but as a whole
there is no perfect symmetry though approximately Latin letters correspond with
a universal circular matrix of letters and numbers if to assume existence of
such matrix in which all possible ratio of sounds of human speech are symmetric.
The shown matrix can be used for calculations of numerical values of letters in
a context of duodecimal numerology, and it is possible to correlate Latin
letters to different derivative alphabets, and it is possible to consider
different sound values of letters in different alphabets.
Other way for calculations of numerical values of letters in a context of
duodecimal numerology is shown in other section of this website:
metalinguistics. Phonemes of English
language are compared to letters of the modern Russian alphabet and compared to
numbers of duodecimal numerology in that method, but the circular matrix of
Latin letters shown on this page allows to calculate numerical values not only
English letters and words but also words of other languages which are
constructed on the basis of Latin alphabet.
The following page shows the circular matrix of letters of the Cyril's Slavic alphabet, and analyzes some ratio of semantic values which are included in names of letters.
