The Phoenicians lived in a two hundred mile long strip bordering the Mediterranean Sea, so they were sea traders. They made purple cloth that was very expensive and prized among royalty that was made from a dye produced by a sea snail called a murex. They also had many cedar trees growing there, so they used them to build boats and furniture. They were excellent sea traders who produced the first alphabet that consisted of 22 consonants and they gave it away, the Greeks took this alphabet and turned it into their own alphabet.
Phoenicians contributted to society by inventing the alphabet. Not particular the English or any other language, but just the first in inventing a writing, working, system.
They established a trading empire around the Mediterranean and produced an alphabet which was the basis for the Greek and Latin ones and so the basis of today's alphabets.
Most of the world was not reached by Phoenician traders. Around the Mediterranean Sea it increased prosperity.
First traders in the modern sense of word. Also inventors of cuneiform script of which alphabet was created and of which latin script later.
It enriched trade in the Western Mediterranean. The rest of the world continued on as usual.
