The thickest would be the low E, then next is A, then D, then G, then B, and then the thinnest would be the high E.

Strings are usually measured in inches. So your .014 is your B string.

The other ones are in mm for some reason
.89mm is in or around .036 inches so its more than likely the A string
.76mm would be the D.

EDIT - im going by a regular electric here.
