The letters on the first typewriters were placed according to more or less often used words. The differences in querty and azerty ( and some more) are conditioned by various languages.

Ha ha, once upon a time there was this Lad who figured out the most used characters to make a nice layout for a typewriter... English one: qwerty. Now this is still used! Optimal for 10 finger typing. There also exists azerty (French) and qwertz (German) which each are optimal for their language.
