The Greek alphabet consists of 24 letters, only seven of which are vowels. The classical version of the alphabet included three more letters, which were used only to represent numbers. Β ϐ – the prototype of the Phoenician “bet” ( beta, vita). In the Cyrillic alphabet, B and C originated from this letter. Pronunciation in the ancient Greek alphabet is somewhat different from the modern one. Previously, it was an explosive sound “b”, but now it is a sonorous one with a dental-labial sound “c”, in many dialects it is pronounced like “vi”. This particle refers to the well-known beta radiation and beta particles. Γ γ – originated from the Phoenician “gaml, gimel” (γάμα, gamma). In the ancient Greek alphabet, it denoted a sound similar to the Russian “g”. The letter G in Cyrillic also originated from him. In the new alphabet, it denotes a voiced spirant and is pronounced softly and aspirated. Gamma radiation in physics and some variables in mathematics are denoted by this letter. Δ δ – the Phoenician “delt, dalet” gave this letter its name (δέλτα, delta).
