About Phoenician
Phoenician belonged to the Northwest Semitic branch of the Afroasiatic family and was used in the ancient eastern Mediterranean, especially along the coast of present-day Lebanon and parts of Syria, Israel, and North Africa through Punic varieties. It has no native speakers today. The language was written in the Phoenician alphabet, a consonantal script of 22 letters written from right to left, with word division appearing inconsistently in surviving inscriptions.
A distinctive feature of Phoenician is its abjad writing system, which normally records consonants and leaves most vowels unwritten, like other early Semitic scripts. Historically, Phoenician is especially important because its alphabet was adapted by the Greeks, and through Greek it influenced the later Latin and Cyrillic traditions. Most surviving Phoenician is preserved in inscriptions on stone, metal, and ceramics rather than in long literary manuscripts.
