W ir lotynų abėcėlė

Latin alphabet:

After the Roman conquest of Greece in the 1st century BC, Latin adopted the Greek letters ⟨Y⟩ and ⟨Z⟩ (or readopted, in the latter case) to write Greek loanwords, placing them at the end of the alphabet. An attempt by the emperor Claudius to introduce three additional letters did not last. Thus it was during the classical Latin period that the Latin alphabet contained 23 letters:

It was not until the Middle Ages that the letter ⟨W⟩ (originally a ligature of two ⟨V⟩s) was added to the Latin alphabet, to represent sounds from the Germanic languages which did not exist in medieval Latin...

Germanai lotynų abėcėlę "patobulino", pridėję nebūtą W.

Kodėl tą jų germanišką abėcėlę lotyniška vadinam?

The classical Latin alphabet consisted of 23 letters, 21 of which were derived from the Etruscan alphabet. In medieval times the letter I was differentiated into I and J and V into U, V, and W, producing an alphabet equivalent to that of modern English with 26 letters. Some European languages currently using the Latin alphabet do not use the letters K and W, and some add extra letters (usually standard Latin letters with diacritical marks added or sometimes pairs of letters read as one sound).

Medieval Latin is the written Latin in use during that portion of the post-classical period when no corresponding Latin vernacular existed. The spoken language had developed into the various incipient Romance languages

Jau šiais laikais įvyko skiemeninių ir neskiemeninių raidžių I ir V kombinacijų (I/J ir U/V), o taip pat atskira raide pradėtas laikyti digrafas VV, naudojamas germanų kalbų rašte.

Germanams W prireikė, nes jie V ėmė tart kaip F.

Mūsų Valstybei gal irgi praverstų tokia reforma?
