In 1867, typographer Christopher Sholes invented the typewriter and the keys on it were arranged in alphabetical order. But some time later the layout had to be modernized to protect the mechanism from jamming, because of this, the most frequently used combinations were distributed around the keyboard. So, the QWERTY layout was born and on its basis the majority of layouts for other languages were created.
