不只是英文,就算在德文,法文,A都在B前面,連希臘文alpha也在beta前面。就算以英文為例好了,我實在想不出什麼合理的理由解釋,ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ這樣的順序是怎麼決定的,母音和子音參差,也不是依據發音方式來排列。所以我想請問,拉丁字母的順序,是怎麼決定的。像日文的五十音就明顯的較有規則(雖然我還是不知道為什麼ka行要排要sa行前面,但至少比英文的26 字母規則)。

因為A本身就有一或第一的意思如a一個, Ace一點而Bi則有二的意思如Bicycle,自行車(兩輪車) Biolingual雙語的所以a在b之前應與本身字義有關當然也可能是字義在後啦反正雞生蛋與蛋生雞本來就是難解之題

TO風兒你的意見沒錯......也許"是a它一開始在前面,然後才有一的意思",這是雞生蛋蛋生雞的問題,只有當時造字者才知了謝謝指教

TO superjim8888: Maybe my logic is not perfect at all. But it doesn't mean "A" has no meaning in one at all. "A" actually means one. My mistake or imperfect doesn't harm the meaning or position of A. Fact is fact.

To superjim8888: A dog means a dog, not two dogs or three dogs. How come you always said that A doesn't mean one?
2006-07-31 08:55:41 補充:
And you seemed to misunderstand what I meant. I didn't say "if ace is one therefore A means one", I said " A has meaning of one....". Besides, of course you gave me examples more tham I gave you. But such a fact still doesn't hame or change that A means one.

我不清楚為何字母為何要如此排列,可以確定的是現代字母和蘇美人沒關係XD, 蘇美人只是最早發明文字的民族之一。
"在各種關於字母表起源的理論中,最有可能的似乎是,約公元前第二千年初期,與埃及人有聯系的閃米特人的一支發明了字母表,隨后在巴勒斯坦得到發展,並可能由腓尼基人最終完成。 "

原來a是公牛的圖案,大概古時候覺得公牛很重要…所以"alpha"才有最初、最重要的意思,哈哈

給霞飛: If "Bi" is for two as in bicycle, bilateral, or bicentennial, then "uni" is for one such as unicycle, unilateral or union. Your logic is flawed. "A" has no meaning in one at all.

給霞飛:"Maybe my logic is not perfect at all. My mistake or imperfect doesn't harm the meaning or position of A. Fact is fact." Do you see what you've typed? Your logic is not perfect and mistaken, how then is that "fact is fact"?
2006-07-27 22:29:44 補充:
Besides, I gave you three example where the prefix "uni" means one, you have not give us any example where A means one. And if ace is one therefore A means one, then deuce is two then d means two? Do you see why your logic is flawed?

給霞飛:我覺得不是a本身就有1的意思吧,而是a它一開始在前面,然後才有一的意思的,不過我覺得你的答案很好,不知道是自己想到的還是......,總之很有創意,不錯

我們現在所認識的字母的起源--->>>
先由兩河流域的西雅古文明蘇美人創造楔形文字,
再由腓尼基人將簡化的字母傳給希臘人和羅馬人,
成為後來西方拼音字母的始祖.
如果想當初蘇美人創造字母的順序是abcdef...
基本上他們的後代應該也不會無聊到要去改變既有的順序,
所以字母就照著他們出生時的順序一直傳下去了吧.
而母音子音也是後來語言學家自己劃分的, 創字的那些蘇美人應該沒特意排列.
至於你講的 德文 法文 英文等語言的 "A" 都在 "B" 前面的問題,
其實很簡單...
因為他們全都是 "拉丁語系" 的語言!! (你好像已經知道了)
也就是他們的媽媽都是同一個人 (就是蘇美人那一套囉...)
其中英文又是最晚出現的, 而且語法結構也最簡單.
所以如果你有略略了解拉丁語系的語文的話
就不難理解英文為何較多人使用.
我覺得日本的五十音是其實是很稀奇的
可能是因為他的文化起源較晚,
所以能夠取他人(中國?朝鮮??)的優點來創造自己的文字.
哪像中文字, 根本就連個順序都沒有...
我想, 在ㄅㄆㄇ發明以前,中國字就只能用部首跟筆劃來排例吧.

這ㄍ問題十分簡單~為什ㄇ哥哥會叫哥哥而弟弟會叫弟弟ㄋ?~因為媽媽先生出來ㄉ就叫哥哥~在哥哥之後ㄉ就叫弟弟~依此類推~發明英文ㄉ人是先想到A之後才想到B~就這ㄇ簡單~所以A一定是排在Bㄉ前面~謝謝
