Who decided to order the English alphabet a through z?

The order of the English alphabet, from 'a' through 'z', has evolved over centuries. It is based on the Latin alphabet, which in turn is derived from the Greek alphabet. The specific arrangement of letters within the Latin alphabet was likely developed by scholars and scribes in ancient Rome.


How do you equally divide the English alphabet?

The English alphabet has 26 letters. 26 is only divisible evenly by 2 and 13. So you could divide the letters into 2 groups of 13 letters or 26 groups of 2 letters. A-M and N-Z, or A-B, C-D, E-F, G-H, I-J, K-L, M-N, O-P, Q-R, S-T, U-V, W-X, and Y-Z. The only close to whole division you could do would be into 3 groups, or 9 groups. However, one of the groups would need an additional letter. This may be useful for filing. The third or ninth respectively should be the largest, because it contains X, the letter words and names are least likely to start with.

Is it possible to create a letter in the alphabet?

I understand that Benjamin Franklin attempted to introduce a phonetic alphabet in 1779. Interesting link found when googling "Benjamin Franklin alphabet:" http:/www.omniglot.com/writing/franklin.htm __________________ The development of the alphabet, and ultimately its breathtaking brilliance, is much more complex and fascinating than most people would suspect. It is so easy to simply take it for granted as a trivial task for elementary students. Most would agree that up to now the spoken language precedes the development of any symbolic representations of it, and changes to spoken language are the same. If there is no actual need driven by spoken language, you can try to modify the alphabet all you want and your efforts will likely be futile. However, with the Information Age well underway, the process of language change and its symbolic representation may be fundamentally different. Needs dictated by rapid exchange of "written" language may take over as the driver of changes in the symbolic representation of the spoken word.
