Modern English
Modern English (sometimes New English or NE as opposed to Middle English and Old English) is the form of the English language spoken since the Great Vowel Shift in England, which began in the late 14th century and was completed in roughly 1550.
Latin-script alphabet
The 21-letter archaic Latin alphabet and the 23-letter classical Latin alphabet belong to the oldest of this group. The 26-letter ISO basic Latin alphabet, adopted the earlier ASCII alphabet (developed by standard organisations in the United States) and contains the 26 letters of the English alphabet, it in turn has been incorporated into more recent international standards that include additions to handle the other alphabets derived from the classical Latin alphabet.
