Their language was Semitic, different from Greek and Latin. A few words were absorbed into those languages.
They invented cursive writing, different from symbols and pictographs of Egyptian and Mesopotamian writings which were syllabic and not adapted to easy use. Their alphabet formed the basis of modern writing.
