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.

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.

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

Because it would be weird if the alphabet wasn't in alphabetical order.

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.

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.
