The Latin alphabet developed in central Italy about seven centuries B.C. and it's interesting that was made of twenty letters, written only as capital letters until the Middle Age.
FWIK the origin of most languages is Latin although it's not spoken anymore.
I think Latin and English are related mostly because of influence the Normans of William the Conqueror had on the language spoken and written in England when they invaded it in 1066; Latin was mainly used by Queen Elizabeth Ist talking and writing to ambassadors of other European countries.
