Latin Alphabet evolution

Nowadays Latin Alphabet, employed all around the world, is the fruit of a few thousands year’s evolution, from Phoenician, greek, Etruscan, Latin to these days,… visualize it through this enclosed map, nice mutation… huh ?

From a personal point of view, in this presentation, I am not sure that “U” did not exist in the Roman times. Indeed “rosarum” is a latin word (has it been added during the middle-age ?), “veritas” as well.

Besides, additions are incomplete (only European ones were mentionned). What about the Asian ones (Vietnamese language is based on the latin alphabet as well - different letters)) ?

If you have any similar image projects about the evolution of any known alphabet on this earth, please mention them on the comments…
