The Republic of the Philippines is an island nation in Southeast Asia. The area is about 300 thousand km, of which 1830 km is water area.
The capital is Manila (on the island of Luzon).
The state is located in the western part of the Pacific Ocean on the islands of the Philippine archipelago, which is part of the Malay archipelago. In total, there are more than 7,600 islands, but the exact number cannot be determined, because as a result of volcanic activity, new islands appear and some old ones disappear.
The South China Sea separates the Philippines from China, Vietnam, Thailand, western Malaysia and Singapore, and the Sulu and Sulawesi Seas from Indonesia and eastern Malaysia.
The length of the archipelago from north to south - about 1800 km, from west to east - 1100 km. The northernmost of the islands of the archipelago is only 140 km from the island of Taiwan. The largest islands are Luzon (108,172 km) and Mindanao (94,227 km) (about the entire Philippines), while others are Samar, Negros, Palawan, Panay, Mindoro, Leyte, Cebu, and the Sulu Group. With the exception of the island of Palawan, all other large islands of the archipelago are located quite compactly.

The Republic of the Philippines is an island nation in Southeast Asia. The area is about 300 thousand km, of which 1830 km is water area.
The capital is Manila (on the island of Luzon).
The state is located in the western part of the Pacific Ocean on the islands of the Philippine archipelago, which is part of the Malay archipelago. In total, there are more than 7,600 islands, but the exact number cannot be determined, because as a result of volcanic activity, new islands appear and some old ones disappear.
The South China Sea separates the Philippines from China, Vietnam, Thailand, western Malaysia and Singapore, and the Sulu and Sulawesi Seas from Indonesia and eastern Malaysia.
The length of the archipelago from north to south - about 1800 km, from west to east - 1100 km. The northernmost of the islands of the archipelago is only 140 km from the island of Taiwan. The largest islands are Luzon (108,172 km) and Mindanao (94,227 km) (about the entire Philippines), while others are Samar, Negros, Palawan, Panay, Mindoro, Leyte, Cebu, and the Sulu Group. With the exception of the island of Palawan, all other large islands of the archipelago are located quite compactly.

Greek texts written in the syllable Linear B are preserved, and [M]similar systems were used in Cyprus until about 200 BC.[/M]

The Greek alphabet is a writing system consisting of 24 letters (7 vowels and 17 consonants) and dates back to the 9th century BC; derives from the Phoenician alphabet, in which each sign was associated with only one sound. In turn, the same signs of the Phoenician alphabet would derive from a simplification of some Egyptian hieroglyphics which, due to the principle of acrophony, lost their initial meaning, leaving each sign only the phonetic value.
Since the Phoenician writing was of the apperceptive type, that is, only the consonants were indicated that had to be integrated by unspecified vowel sounds (and therefore only a Phoenician was able to read a word written in Phoenician), the Greeks had to transform some Phoenician letters not used in their alphabet to indicate vowel sounds, which in the Greek alphabet are basic both for a metric question and for the problem of the inflection of words and articles.
In ancient Greece, letters were also used to write numbers, postponing a sign very similar to an apostrophe to the graphic symbol, similar to the Roman numerals used by the Latins.
The letters of the Greek alphabet are widely used today for numerous other purposes: in mathematics and physics to indicate angles and constants, in astronomy to name stars, and so on.
From the Greek Byzantine alphabet derives the Glagolitic alphabet from which in turn the Cyrillic alphabet derives.

In turn, the same signs of the Phoenician alphabet would derive from a simplification of some Egyptian hieroglyphics which, due to the principle of acrophony, lost their initial meaning, leaving each sign only the phonetic value.
Since the Phoenician writing was of the apperceptive type, that is, only the consonants were indicated that had to be integrated by unspecified vowel sounds (and therefore only a Phoenician was able to read a word written in Phoenician), the Greeks had to transform some Phoenician letters not used in their alphabet to indicate vowel sounds, which in the Greek alphabet are basic both for a metric question and for the problem of the inflection of words and articles.
In ancient Greece, letters were also used to write numbers, postponing a sign very similar to an apostrophe to the graphic symbol, similar to the Roman numerals used by the Latins.
The letters of the Greek alphabet are widely used today for numerous other purposes: in mathematics and physics to indicate angles and constants, in astronomy to name stars, and so on.

The Greek alphabet developed during classical times (around the 800s BC) and is used to express the Greek language in writing. Its letters were originally also used to denote numbers and numbers, and over time they have also been used for a number of other purposes: as mathematical symbols, names of stars and so on. The Greek alphabet is the origin of the Latin and Cyrillic alphabets.
It is undisputed that the Greek alphabet was developed from some older form of Semitic writing system, probably the Phoenician alphabet, which was traditionally passed on to the Greeks through contacts with Phoenician traders. Sources such as Coulmas (1989: 142), Naveh (1979: 55) and the National Encyclopedia (1992: Volume 8,40) only mention the Phoenician alphabet as the origin, but other theories also exist, including Sass (94) Proto-Canaanite ( for example, the Ugaritic alphabet). Additional origins have also been suggested, such as Egypt, Assyria and Minoan Crete, or even the possibility that several different language families were involved at the same time, according to polygenic theory.
Before the Greek alphabet was created, other writing systems were used to write Greek. From the 13th century BC. Greek texts written in the syllable Linear B are preserved, and similar systems were used in Cyprus until about 200 BC.

Its letters were originally also used to denote numbers and numbers, and over time they have also been used for a number of other purposes: as mathematical symbols, names of stars and so on. The Greek alphabet is the origin of the Latin and Cyrillic alphabets.
It is undisputed that the Greek alphabet was developed from some older form of Semitic writing system, probably the Phoenician alphabet, which was traditionally passed on to the Greeks through contacts with Phoenician traders. Sources such as Coulmas (1989: 142), Naveh (1979: 55) and the National Encyclopedia (1992: Volume 8,40) only mention the Phoenician alphabet as the origin, but other theories also exist, including Sass (94) Proto-Canaanite ( for example, the Ugaritic alphabet). Additional origins have also been suggested, such as Egypt, Assyria and Minoan Crete, or even the possibility that several different language families were involved at the same time, according to polygenic theory.
Before the Greek alphabet was created, other writing systems were used to write Greek. From the 13th century BC. Greek texts written in the syllable Linear B are preserved, and similar systems were used in Cyprus until about 200 BC.

Davos (UK: /ˈdævɒs, dɑːˈvɒs/, US: /dɑːˈvoʊs/; German: [daˈfoːs] or [daˈvoːs] (listen); Romansh: Tavau; archaic Italian: Tavate) is an Alpine resort town and a municipality in the Prättigau/Davos Region in the canton of Graubünden, Switzerland. It has a permanent population of 10,832 (2020). Davos is located on the river Landwasser, in the Rhaetian Alps, between the Plessur and Albula Ranges.
The municipality covers nearly the entire valley of the Landwasser, and the centre of population, economic activity, and administration is two adjacent villages: Davos Dorf (German: Davos Village) and Davos Platz (Davos Place), at 1,560 m (5,120 ft) above sea level.
Gaining prominence in the 19th century as a mountain health resort, Davos is perhaps best known today for hosting the World Economic Forum—often referred to simply as "Davos"—an annual meeting of global political and corporate leaders. With a long history of winter sport, Davos also has one of Switzerland's largest ski resorts, and hosts the international Spengler Cup ice hockey tournament each December.
