I wonder if this is how they pick letters to use for license plate numbers?
It's also a bit funny that Latin has a distinct collation order compared to Greek and Cyrillic; I wonder when that happened? Before or after Etruscan?
Phoenician 𐤀𐤁𐤂𐤃 (ⴰⴱⴳⴷ Tifinagh) yet we use ABCD...
(C is itself funny, because С is in the same place on the keyboard)
EDIT: aha, it looks like etruscan didn't distinguish voicing for stops, so when the latin alphabet needed to make the voiced/unvoiced distinction, hard C wound up where G used to be.
