The first alphabet is attributed to the Proto-Sinaitic script, developed by the Canaanites in the Sinai Peninsula around 1850 BC, though the origins can be traced back to earlier writing systems like hieroglyphics. The Canaanites adapted these symbols to create an early form of alphabetic writing, which laid the groundwork for later alphabets, including Phoenician and Greek. Therefore, while the timeframe mentioned (3500 to 2900 BC) aligns more closely with the development of cuneiform and hieroglyphs, the first true alphabet emerged later with the Canaanite influence.
West Semitic people from the eastern coast of the Mediterranean (where Phoenician and Hebrew groups lived) are usually credited with developing the world's first alphabet.

The first known alphabet was developed by the Phoenicians around 1200 BCE. This writing system, known as the Phoenician alphabet, consisted of 22 characters and significantly influenced later alphabets, including Greek and Latin.
