Greek 

The Greeks were the first one in Europe to learn how to write with an alphabet. This script was used from 800 BC and is still being used in the present. From the Greeks writing with an alphabet spread through Europe which eventually lead down to the modern alphabet. The Greek adopted the alphabet from the Phoenician script. The Greek script started out being written from right – to left just like the Phoenician script. By time this changed and the script started being written ‘boustrophedon’ which means the direction of the writing changes in every line.
