Are gook languages familiar with the concept of "alphabetical order"? If not, how do they sort lists?

Kanji can be ordered from number of strokes, though I don't think it's common.
Hiragana has this order (pic related, right to left, top to bottom)

What about chinks?

thats interesting

All Chinese characters can be transcribed using Pinyin (the Latin alphabet), so they just use the regular alphabet we use to order their shit
Jason King
That's kinda funny. Will the gooks ever admit their writing system is garbage and Latin is superior in every possible way?

Maybe if that were actually the case
But it is not.
Logographic scripts are actually better than alphabetics for a variety of reasons.
If you learned one language that has it, you will quickly learn why.

You have to go back.

You mean... Mongolia?

Not like it makes it arguably the single most complicated language to learn and has one of the largest inventories of symbols to memorize. I honestly don't see why you would think it's better than an alphabet tbqh

The gooks will just claim they invented the Latin script in 6000bc. You can't win with these people

it's astounding that you're able to use a computer. i salute your bravery in continuing to get out of bed every morning in spite of the extreme challenges you must face each day as a result of your severe cognitive impairment.

To be honest it's not much different to the way we learn language. We learn and memorise the shape of whole words, not the individual sequence of letters. Whereas they learn a character to symbolise a word. Same thing in the grand scheme of things

>alphabetical order
There's no such thing. Only indexing.
Asian Alphabet is not a thing. Kana is there to just to give Them (and then to you) a phonetic clue on interpreting Western words and syllables. This is where Westerners often are not careful enough.
Pic much related.

True, but in the Internet age, Chinese letters are a pain in the ass to enter on any computer. Meanwhile, Latin/Greek/Cyrillic couldn't be easier.
Liam Edwards
not really
Japanese is really easy to type in

that's how people READ, it's not how the learn new words as children.
protip (and this is why "logographic" languages are total ass): language is first and foremost spoken and heard rather than written and read. children learn their first language just from hearing it. when the symbols used in your writing system can be correlated with one or two sounds (and you generally have about the same number of sounds as you do symbols) then it's far easier to make the speaking/listening connection. if you've learned a word in english, there's a good chance you'll be able to spell it simply by guessing (and you'll almost certainly at least be guessing close enough for a native speaker to know what word you're trying to spell).

Or you just learn the Logograph for it
Which is truthfully the better method
