Zimbabwean President Robert Mugabe is known for his good command of the English language and it is highly unlikely that he would approve his citizens' version of the English alphabet. | image source: answersafrica.com | 

An alphabet is a standard set of letters which is used to write one or more languages based on the general principle that the letters represent basic sounds of the spoken language.

English being a widely spoken language, it goes without saying that its alphabet is the most popular.

However, some words in English are pronounced differently from the letters of the alphabet that denote them and this has led some people to come up with their own alphabets in reference to their first language.

The result of such compositions are always comical and after a group of boys calling themselves, Kalenjin Group of Elders, recited the Kalenjin version of the English alphabet, a video of a Zimbabwean girl doing the same in respect to her country has gone viral on Social Media.

The video caught the attention of Radio Jambo presenters Gidi and Ghost and they could not help laughing as they heard the girl saying things "E for India" and "S for Estimate".

The video of the girl reciting that alphabet can be seen below.
