English alphabet
The Latin script, introduced by Christian missionaries, began to replace the Anglo-Saxon futhorc from about the 7th century, although the two continued to be used alongside each other for some time. Futhorc influenced the new Latin-based English alphabet by giving it letters thorn (Þ þ) and wynn (Ƿ ƿ). The letter eth (Ð ð) was later devised as a rewriting of the letter dee (D d), and finally yogh ( ) was created by Norman scribes from the insular g in Old English and Irish, and used alongside their Carolingian g.
