How old English written?

Old English, also known as Anglo-Saxon, was written using the Latin alphabet, which was adapted after the Christianization of England in the 6th century. It featured a range of unique letters, such as 'þ' (thorn) for the "th" sound and 'ð' (eth) for the voiced "th" sound. The language itself was characterized by a complex system of inflections and a vocabulary heavily influenced by Germanic roots. Notable texts include "Beowulf" and the "Anglo-Saxon Chronicle," showcasing its poetic and narrative traditions.
