A-B-C-D-E-F-G-H-?-?-?

You have probably gathered from my previous blogs that I am quite random, I think random thoughts, ask random questions, and experience random things.

Well today while I was driving into work I was thinking about the letters of the alphabet and singing the alphabet song to myself. I then came to wonder – who put the alphabet in the order that it is in? Was it the people that wrote the tune for the song? Is there any reasoning behind the order that we read it in?

I agree...strange isn't it??
Even moreso...I assumed all languages have an alphabet song similar to the english version (or more so had never considered the idea that others wouldn't)...mainly because french also has it as well as some others I'm sure.
I realized that it's unique to certain languages while in Europe learning Hungarian.
