Because it would be weird if the alphabet wasn’t in alphabetical order.
That’s why.
So A came from animal, B from bag, C from chaise longue, D from Fish, E from person, F from spoon, G from stick. Fascinating.
So… how did they decide on the order for the proto-thing?
It worked for the little song they sang…“🎶animal, bottle, snake, fish, man; round stick, u stick, fallen ladder, brand…” I’m pretty sure it all rhymed and scanned in Proto-Sinaitic.
Uh, what
The alphabet should go in this order:
aeiou ywh vf bp mnlr zs jdt gqckx
Voiced before unvoiced, tongue placement only gradually moving if possible.
Of course that’s very anglocentric because in most European languages j is pronounced like y, not like dzsh, so would go been y and w, and for example in German, z is pronounced ts, so should go the other side of s, next to d.
As someone whose primary language has a slightly modified latin alphabet, I always mess up the english one towards the end… y is way too far back
English is considered a very difficult language to master
lol
English is an absolute mess to learn, there are so many exceptions and weird things
it isnt really that bad, i didnt have issues.
At what age did you learn English, and what is your mother tongue?
English was real easy for me to lean because I learnt it from a very very young age, but for non Germanic language speaking adults, it’s definitely not easy to learn.
about in my mid teens, i think?
