Hindi alphabet, interestingly, is arranged in the order of the part of the mouth that makes the sound. For example, sounds generated at the back of the mouth (like "k", "g", etc.) are listed first, and then you move forward to sounds like "t", "d", and finally sounds involving the lips, like "p", "f", etc.

I found this arrangement fascinating. Unlike the jumble of letters that is the Latin alphabet.
