The Latin alphabet IS the same as the English alphabet, with the exception of a few letters.

The Modern Latin Alphabet is exactly the same as the English Alphabet.

The Classic Latin alphabet is missing J, U, and W.

There were no lower case letters at first, and K, Y and Z used only for writing words of Greek origin. The letters J, U and W were added to the alphabet at a later stage to write languages other than Latin. J is a variant of I, U is a variant of V, and W was introduced as a 'double-v' to make a distinction between the sounds we know as 'v' and 'w' which was unnecessary in Latin.
