The various languages around the mediterranean, from hebrew to arabic to greek to all derived languages, all come from a common root.
Compare arabic to greek:
Alif - Alpha
Beh - Beta
Gaf - Gamma
Daled - Delta
Teh - Theta
Yeh - Iota
Kaf - Kappa
Laam - Lambda
Meem - Mu
Noon - Nu
Many of the letters, and their very names, are clearly related
