Il nostro alfabeto è stato inizialmente creato dai Fenici intorno al 1200 a.C. I Fenici crearono una serie di segni scritti per rappresentare i suoni orali. L’alfabeto è stato poi rifinito dai Greci con l’introduzione delle vocali.
Comunque, l’alfabeto italiano sussegue quello latino, derivante da quello greco. Prende vita intorno al 750 a. C.
L’alfabeto italiano moderno consiste di 21 letters: cinque vocali e sedici consonanti.

The title of the English national anthem “God Save the King” is the English patriotic and popular piece of music that customarily serves as the British national and royal anthem.
History tells us that the anthem originated between 1736 and 1740, and adopted by the British realm as of September 28, 1744. A date that makes it for all intents and purposes the oldest national anthem in the world. However, there are no reliable sources of the author of the British anthem.
The English national anthem accompanies on all official occasions not only the countries of the United Kingdom, but also those Commonwealth countries that recognize the Queen or the King as Head of State as well as all British overseas territories. The content of the hymn is adjusted according to the gender of the incumbent royal.
First verse
God save our gracious King!
Long live our noble King!
God save the King!
Send him victorious,
Happy and glorious,
Long to reign over us,
God save the King.
Second verse
Thy choicest gifts in store
On him be pleased to pour,
Long may he reign.
May he defend our laws,
And ever give us cause,
To sing with heart and voice,
God save the King.

The British flag is known as the Flag of the Kingdom of Great Britain, Union Flag, or Union Jack. It is one flag that represents the whole of the United Kingdom.
The flag was adopted in 1801 following the Act of Union by which the Kingdom of Great Britain and the Kingdom of Ireland were united. In brief, the British flag is the sum of three separate flags: the red cross of St George for the Kingdom of England, the white Saltire of St Andrew for Scotland and the red Saltire of St Patrick to represent Ireland.
Blue, white and red are the colors of the British flag. Blue stands for loyalty; white symbolizes sincerity, and red represents courage. These colors are part of the historical and cultural baggage, therefore they are identified with the United Kingdom.
The British flag is used as the Civil and State Flag of the United Kingdom.

El himno nacional de España es uno de los himnos más antiguos de Europa, y fue compuesto en la segunda mitad del siglo XVIII, hacia 1760. Como muchos otros himnos, inicialmente era una marcha militar.
El himno nacional de España se titula Marcha Real, pero también se conoce como Marcha Granadera o Marcha de Granaderos.
El himno español es uno de los raros casos de himno nacional en el mundo sin texto oficial. En cada periodo histórico se escribieron distintas versiones del himno nacional, en función de lo que cambiaban los reyes. También hay versiones más recientes, escritas en los últimos años, pero no son oficiales.
A continuación presento la versión más famosa del himno nacional de España.
Viva España!
Alzad los brazos, hijos
del pueblo español,
que vuelve a resurgir.
Gloria a la Patria que supo seguir,
sobre el azul del mar el caminar del sol.
¡Triunfa España!
Los yunques y las ruedas
cantan al compás
del himno de la fe.
Juntos con ellos cantemos de pie
la vida nueva y fuerte de trabajo y paz.
Viva España!
Alzad los brazos, hijos
del pueblo español,
que vuelve a resurgir.
Gloria a la Patria que supo seguir,
sobre el azul del mar el caminar del sol.

The origin of the Spanish flag can be traced back to the naval insignia of the Kingdom of Spain (1785). It became official during the reign of Queen Isabella II.
The flag is composed of three horizontal stripes. The red color represents the blood of Spaniards shed during the wars. While the golden yellow represents the wealth won by the Spanish crown over the centuries. From its colors the flag is also called Rojigualda.
The coat of arms is divided into four quadrants, representing the four kingdoms: Castile, León, Senyera and Navarre, that united formed 15th century Spain. In the center is a fleur-de-lis to symbolize the royal house of Bourbon, while the sides depict the two Pillars of Hercules. Wrapped around the columns is the motto Plus Ultra, and above them we find the imperial crown on the left, and the royal crown on the one on the right, in addition to the crown over the entire coat of arms.
