How many letters are there in the English language?

The alphabet in English refers to the set of 26 letters that make up the basic building blocks of the English language. 

Capital and Small letters

The English alphabet is based on the Latin alphabet and consists of the following letters:, Each letter has an uppercase ("capital letter: A, B, C, D, E, F, G, H, I, J, K, L, M, N, O, P, Q, R, S, T, U, V, W, X, Y, and Z. ") and a lowercase ("small letter: a, b, c, d, e, f, g, h, i, j, k, l, m, n, o, p, q, r, s, t, u, v, w, x, y, and z.") form. These letters are used to spell out words and create written language. The alphabet is an important aspect of English grammar, as it forms the basis for spelling, pronunciation, and vocabulary building.

Five of the letters in the English Alphabet are vowels: A, E, I, O, U.

The remaining 21 letters are consonants: B, C, D, F, G, H, J, K, L, M, N, P, Q, R, S, T, V, X, Z, and usually W and Y.

A digraph is two letters combined to make a single sound in written or spoken English. Written English includes the digraphs: ch ci ck gh ng ph qu rh sc sh th ti wh wr zh. These are not considered separate letters of the alphabet.

Which is the shortest/smallest  word in English?

Two letters, “A” and “I,” also constitute words. The smallest words in the English language are called a and i.

In which script is the English language written?

The English language is written in the Latin script, also known as the Roman script. The Latin script has been used to write the English language since the 7th century and is the most widely used writing system in the world today. It is made up of 26 letters, as I mentioned in my previous answer, and has been adapted and modified over time to accommodate the needs of different languages. The Latin script is also used to write many other European languages, as well as several languages in Africa, the Americas, and Oceania.
