Now I find one thing. What does 26 letters have to do with English? Why do you want to learn 26 letters, and the word order is different from the alphabet?

Your question is: Who decides why A is the first and B is the second, right?

One answer given by some people is that this order is to make it easier for children to remember, which seems to be the case. In fact, although the origin of the alphabet is not elegant, in fact, this order has remained basically unchanged for more than 3 thousand years.

The alphabet in English and other European languages comes from Semitic, which is written in the order of hieroglyphics of ancient Egypt and human beings more than 4000 years ago. The current alphabet first appeared in Syria more than 400 years ago, and then spread to Semites, Greeks, Etruscans, and then Romans.

There is really no obvious reason why it is the order of ABC instead of CBA. For example, the alphabetical order used in Ethiopia is derived from English, but the order is different. They can be classified according to the shape of letters. Arabic letters in Ararat are basically the same as English letters, but there are some changes according to their shapes and pronunciations. In the ancient Irish-Ogan alphabet, b, l, f, ... have been used. Dekun has an ancient inscription with the alphabetical order of f, u, th, a, r, k...th to make a word.

The letters first appeared in Vogatt, which are cuneiform characters, and the alphabetical order is basically the same as Hebrew and Phoenician. The Greeks introduced Phoenician around 800 BC and joined Chi and Upsilon. About a century later, Etruscans learned the Greek alphabet, and the alphabetical order was realized. For example, α β becomes ay bee. Then in 100, Latin learned Etruscan. They added G and put it in the seventh position of the alphabet instead of Z (Z (Etruscan: Zeta, Brithsh: zed). Centuries later, Z came back and represented Zeta in Greek. Add y instead of Zeta.

The alphabet of modern English is based on 23 Latin letters. Three new words w, v and j have been added. In the past, two letters with the same U or V were written together, but now they are replaced by W. In the past, U and V were not divided. Now, it is not clear how they separate U from V, I and J by adding V ... Because they are similar letters, their positions in the alphabet are also similar. The alphabet used now is about 65438.

From this point of view, the alphabetical order can be traced back to the Garit cuneiform in14th century BC. But why? Anyway, there is no conclusion yet, and everyone is speculating. However, it has also been suggested that in Semitic language, the meanings of adjacent words are related-possibly accidental-for example, in Semitic language, the alphabetical order: yod kaf lamed stands for the palm of an owl's arm, whipping the owl to drive away cattle and sheep. Well, this is absolutely accidental. ), Sumerian scale (JUNG WOO in the upper corner of the palace, reliable! ), or simply written by God (poof! ! ! ). A dead shot even said that the Phoenicians followed the Mayan calendar F \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \

In the final analysis, the meaning of having the alphabet is not in what order it is, but in the end there is no order. .....
