How do you equally divide the English alphabet?
To equally divide the English alphabet into two groups, you would first need to determine if you are dividing it based on the number of letters or the order of the letters. If dividing based on the number of letters, you would split the 26 letters into two groups of 13 letters each. If dividing based on the order of the letters, you would separate the alphabet into two groups of alternating letters, such as A, C, E, etc. and B, D, F, etc.
Who decided to order the English alphabet a through z?
The alphabet from alpha to tau was taken over from a north Semitic alphabet (probably a Phoenician script used in Syria); its introduction to Greece is perhaps reflected in the myth which tells how Cadmus, son of Agenor king of Tyre, brought letters to Thebes, the city he had founded. The shapes of the letters, their names and their order are virtually the same in both alphabets but they do not necessarily represent the same sounds. The Semitic alphabet has no characters for vowels, and the Greek therefore used for its vowels Semitic characters for consonants not in use in Greece. Thus Semitic consonant characters were used for ɑ, ε, o, and ι. The character for upsilon was taken over from a cursive Phoenician script and added to the alphabet after tau. In Greece local variations lasted for centuries. Some dialects had an extra letter, Ϝ, between epsilon and zeta, pronounced like English w and called first 'wau' by the Greeks and later digamma. It disappeared in pre-classical times from the Attic-Ionic dialects and does not appear in the standard alphabet given above. Other letters were added after upsilon to represent the sounds pH and kh.The Latin alphabet seems to have come from an early form of Etruscan script which was itself derived from the (Euboean) Greek alphabet as used at Cumae (in Campania), a colony of Chalcis in Euboea. The early Latin alphabet was the same as its modern English derivative except that it lacked the letters G, J (for which I did duty), U, W (for which V also served), Y, and Z. The character X represented the sound ks (unlike the Greek X, which represented the sound kh). H represented the aspirate (for its varying significance in Greek see 1 above). Greek gamma was represented by the character C which was at first used for the G sound as well as for the K sound (compare the names Gaius and Gnaeus which when abbreviated were written in archaic fashion C. and Cn.); the character G was introduced in the third century BC.alphabet" class='external' title="alphabet
How is the Korean alphabets different from Chinese?
The Korean Alphabet is a phonetic alphabet and the characters presented within it are much more likely to be rounded or oval shaped. When attempting to discern the difference - look for oval shapes.
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.
How many Chinese letters are there in the alphabet?
Zero. There is no such thing as a Chinese alphabet. Chinese uses pictographic writing.Chinese do not have alphabet. There are thousands of characters that represent whole words and concepts.When Chinese is written with the Latin alphabet (called Pinyin), it has 25 letters. All letters are used except "v".

What is the next letter in sequence AZEBIYO?
The next two letters are likely C & U. There are at least 2 patterns in these letters. FIrst is the list of vowels that make up every other letter. Then the letters alternate from the ends of the alphabet. If there is a Z, a B, then a Y, then C would likely be next, and then X. But there would be whatever vowel in sequence next.
What is the Lebanese Arabic word for 'sister'?
The question as posed is nonsensical and likely derives from the misunderstanding of how Arabic is written. Arabic is not written with symbols or ideographs (like Chinese), but is written with letters in an alphabet. It just happens that the alphabet used in Arabic is different than the Latin alphabet used in English.The word for sister in Arabic is "okht" and it is written like this (???).

What is the probability of choosing a vowel in the alphabet?
The answer depends onthe alphabet that you chose,whether or not you consider y to be a vowel,whether or not each letter is equally likely to be chosen (eg not from a bag of scrabble tiles), andwhether or not the choice was random.If a choice was random, from equal numbers of letters from the modern Roman alphabet and y is not considered a vowel then the answer is 5/26.
Why was there a cow on the J page of the alphabet book?
The cow is likely featured on the J page of the alphabet book because it represents the beginning sound of the letter "J." Using familiar and easily recognizable animals helps reinforce early literacy skills by associating sounds with letters.

What year was the letter v added to the Hebrew alphabet?
No letters were ever "added" to the Hebrew alphabet individually. The Hebrew alphabet is regarded as sacred to Jews, and its form is unchangeable.However, you might be talking about the sound shift of the letter Vav, was probably pronounced like a W in ancient times, and at some point, became pronounced like a V. This likely happened in Europe, due to the fact the the letter w is pronounced like a v in many European languages.
