who/how alphabetized the alphabet for the English language? Is it random or is there some sort of guiding principle I’m unaware of? Bonus points if there’s actually a ‘better’ alphabetical order out there?
In: 4505
any order the Phoenicians used would have become the order of modern letters in (almost) all alphabets.
thats why phonetically (soundwise) the sounds the first letters of each language are prettu much the same.
the order of the Phoenician alphabet comes from the proto sinatic script which is basically random drawings (aleph is an ox head and bet is a house).
