Hi, All

===========
The Greek alphabet has been used to write the Greek language since the 
late ninth or early eighth century BC.[3][4] It is derived from the 
earlier Phoenician alphabet,[5] and was the first alphabetic script in 
history to have distinct letters for vowels as well as consonants. In 
Archaic and early Classical times, the Greek alphabet existed in many 
different local variants, but, by the end of the fourth century BC, the 
Euclidean alphabet, with twenty-four letters, ordered from alpha to 
omega, had become standard and it is this version that is still used to 
write Greek today. These twenty-four letters (each in uppercase and 
lowercase forms) are: Α α, Β β, Γ γ, Δ δ, Ε ε, Ζ ζ, Η η, Θ θ, 
Ι ι, Κ κ, 
Λ λ, Μ μ, Ν ν, Ξ ξ, Ο ο, Π π, Ρ ρ, Σ σ/ς, Τ τ, Υ υ, Φ φ, 
Χ χ, Ψ ψ, and Ω ω.

The Greek alphabet is the ancestor of the Latin and Cyrillic scripts.[6] 
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. Sound values and 
conventional transcriptions for some of the letters differ between 
Ancient and Modern Greek usage, because the pronunciation of Greek has 
changed significantly between the fifth century BC and today. Modern and 
Ancient Greek also use different diacritics. Apart from its use in 
writing the Greek language, in both its ancient and its modern forms, 
the Greek alphabet today also serves as a source of technical symbols 
and labels in many domains of mathematics, science and other fields.
