How did the Phoenician alphabet differ from earlier forms of writing?
The Phoenician alphabet was an early form of alphabetic writing that used a system of 22 characters representing consonant sounds. This was a significant departure from earlier writing systems like cuneiform and hieroglyphics, which used a combination of logograms and syllabic signs to represent words and sounds. The Phoenician alphabet's simplicity and efficiency were key factors in its widespread adoption and influence on later alphabets, including the Greek and Latin scripts.
Why did the Phoenician alphabet become so widespread?
It was not the mother of all languages - it was a means of writing language down. Most languages have nothing to do with Phoenician, it was their writing system. The Phoenician alphabet was adopted and adapted by the Greeks and Romans, from which many languages of the world have based their own alphabets. Of course, some peoples (eg much of the Muslim world), Chinese, Korean, Japanese etc etc) have developed their own writing systems, which cover much of the world today..
