The first known alphabet is attributed to the Phoenicians around 1050 BCE. This writing system laid the foundation for many modern alphabets, including Greek and Latin, by representing sounds rather than entire words or syllables. The Phoenician alphabet consisted of 22 consonant letters and significantly influenced the development of written communication in the ancient world.
