The Latin alphabet variant modern English uses has uses only ~11 kinds of strokes, where is this 26 coming from?

An alphabet assigns a letter to a sound. No more no less. English no longer has an alphabet because the Latin alphabet, designed for Latin languages, replaced the native Runic alphabet.

Serbian has an alphabet, as does Italian. All other European languages I'm aware of don't.
