The original alphabet was developed by a Semitic people living in or near Egypt.*  They based it on the idea developed by the Egyptians, but used their own specific symbols.  It was quickly adopted by their neighbors and relatives to the east and north, the Canaanites, the Hebrews, and the Phoenicians.  The Phoenicians spread their alphabet to other people of the Near East and Asia Minor, as well as to the Arabs, the Greeks, and the Etruscans, and as far west as present day Spain.  The letters and names on the left are the ones used by the Phoenicians.  \n\nMore information:

Alphabets have been around in some form for at least four millennia! Think of Egyptian hieroglyphics, for example. No one knows for sure what the first alphabet was. About 1500 BC, some Eastern Mediterranian Semites invented the alphabet from which ours is probably descended. It was made up of consonants. Later, the ancient Greeks adapted the Semitic alphabet for their own use, and they added vowels. The alphabet we use today, called Modern Roman, evolved from these.

Several have pointed out the basic origins of our alphabet, ultimately in the early Semitic alphabets of the 2nd millennium BC, a form of which Phoenician traders of the 1st millennium BC spread around the Mediterranean (esp. to the Greeks,  and from one group of Greeks to the Etruscans, and from them to the Romans -- hence the Latin alphabet we now use a form of).\n\nAs for the ORDER of these alphabets, some clarification is needed.\n\nBelow I will explain where your friend's suggestion may come from (I'm assuming he misread a lowercase for a capital and meant the letter "L").    But here's the big picture:\n\n1) Our very term "alphabet" is based on a Greek version which began with the letters "alpha" and "beta".  These words were nonsense in Greek, borrowed from the Phoenician names "aleph" and "beth" (meaning "ox" and "house" --words that began with these respective letters).   That is, the essential order of our alphabet (with modifications for letters added later by the Greeks and Romans), is an order used by the Phoenicians, as well as by others in their region who spoke related languages --this included speakers of Hebrew .\n\n2) Specific evidence for THIS order among the Semitic groups?  Of the texts we have in Phoenician,  I do not know of any of these that are specifically "abecedary" texts (that is, lists of the letters in a standardized a-b-c type order).    But the evidence for this order in first millennium BC Hebrew is quite strong in the biblical texts, esp. in their "acrostic poems", in which successive verses or sets of verses begin with the letters in the 'order of the alphabet'.    The most famous example is Psalm 119 in which the eight verses of each stanza start with the same letter.   In fact, almost any English Bible you pick up will display the Hebrew characters and names above the stanzas of this psalm.\n\n3) Actually, the evidence for this order -- beginning with "aleph" -- goes back to about 1300 B.C., where it is found in a number of "abecedary texts" apparently written in scribal schools in the Syrian port city of Ugarit.  (The characters are in an alphabet adapted to be written in "cuneiform", but are still the same basic letters as the other alphabetic texts we know.)    There is some suggestion that the order reflects the propsed Egyptian roots of the whole Semitic alphabet, but no evidence of this has been found. (And at least one writer has proposed that the Ugartic alphabet was organized as a mnenomic device, and has attempted to reconstruct a poem based on the word-names of the letters.)\n\n4) This is at least the DOMINANT order.  But there is another group of languages -- including writings in "Old South Arabiab" and later in "Ge`ez" (also called "Classical Ethiopic") that used a different order, that starts with the equivalent of "h".   This "South Semitic" order is first found in South Arabian inscriptions inthe mid-1st millennium BC...  or so we long thought.    It turns out that two texts found at Ugarit --one found back in 1933, but not appreciated; another found much later-- have since the 1990s been recognized as reflecting the South Semitic order.   With just two of them, and the peculiarities and uncertainties about these specific texts, it is difficult to know what to make of them.   There are some, however, who argue that this order may be just as old as the standard 'aleph-bet' order (and have looked forevidence in the lists of Egyptian symbols ['glyphs'] thought to be behind them).\n\n**5)  As for the "L" first suggestion.  Many have suggested that the 22-letter Phoenician and Hebrew alphabet was typically broken into TWO pieces of eleven letters each.   Looking at the Hebrew alphabet (perhaps at Psalm 119) you see that the first three letters of the seco

The four letter tetragrammaton (Greek, 'four letters') is the true name of the God of the Hebrew scriptures. Its pronunciation is considered to have great power, and is never spoken aloud, save for once a year, in the inner sanctuary of the Temple during the rites of Yom Kippur. In written scripture, it is given the vowel markings and pronuciation of the word Adonai, lord, leading to the common Christian mispronunciation of the name as Jehovah. In Judaism, the tetragrammaton is commonly referred to as "HaShem," The Name.

Alpha (uppercase Α, lowercase α) is the first letter of the Greek alphabet. In the system of Greek numerals it has a value of 1. It derives from the Phoenician letter 'Aleph.\n\nBeta (upper case Β, lower case β) is the second letter of the Greek alphabet. It was derived from the Phoenician letter Beth .\n\nOmega (Ω ω) is the 24th and last letter of the Greek alphabet. In the Greek numeric system it had a value of 800. The word literally means "big O" (ō mega, mega meaning 'big'), as opposed to Omicron, which means "little O" (o mikron, micron meaning 'little').
