Synopsis

Phoenician Alphabet explores the origins of our modern writing systems, revealing how a civilization from over three thousand years ago shaped global communication. The book details the Phoenician writing system's structure and its adaptation by cultures like the Greeks, Romans, and Arabs. This transition from complex logographic systems to a simpler alphabet marked a pivotal moment in history. 

 
The book traces the evolution of the Phoenician alphabet, highlighting its emergence from earlier Semitic scripts. It examines how the Greeks modified it by adding vowels, a crucial innovation. The book also demonstrates how the Latin alphabet, used by many languages today, and the Arabic script share roots in this ancient system. 

 
Drawing on archaeological findings and linguistic research, Phoenician Alphabet shows how studying ancient scripts illuminates patterns of cultural exchange. The book unfolds by first introducing the history of writing and the structure of the Phoenician alphabet. It then explores the adoption of this alphabet by the Greeks and subsequently traces its lineage to the Latin and Arabic scripts. The book concludes by examining the lasting legacy of the Phoenician alphabet in contemporary writing systems.

    Writers, there has been a void where this book should have been. Many books have been written on the mechanics of writing effective fiction, but story is more than its structure.
