Why is the alphabet in that order? Is it because of that song?

Lol !

The order of the Latin alphabet (our alphabet) comes from the Greek one before it. The order was established by them (the Athenians), presumably as a means of teaching it.

Some lonely man or woman determined to jot down the alphabet in that order and an additional lonely man or woman made up the dull tune. Do you suppose the alphabet variation of the tune got here first or the "Twinkle, Twinkle Little Star" variation? I surprise how lengthy the tune has been round?

No, it is because the original alphabets from which it derived had specific numeric values. For real fun, trying singing the Cyrillic alphabet song.

Someone put it in alphabetical order a long time ago.

No...its because the alphabet is in alphabetical order......

um, i think they made the alphabet before they created the song....

Long ago (back in the 1960's), two pot heads sat around and thought it sounded good in this order at the time.

Yes, it is because of the song.

how should I know it. I just learned it when i was little...i guess it is what THE MAN taught us.

Steven Wright, is that you?
