The Greek alphabet consists of 32 letters:

alpha, beta, gamma, delta, epsilon, digamma, stigma, zeta, heta, eta, theta, iota, yot, kappa, lamda, mu, nu, xi, omicron, pi, san, koppa, rho, sigma, tau, upsilon, phi, chi, psi, omega, sampi, sho

and descended from the Phoenician abjad in the 8th or 9th century BC.
