Who invented the Australian Alphabet?

Archaeologists have determined that the first workable alphabet was Phoenician in origin, and written as a crude script. However, each letter stood for a sound, and had a symbol of its own. This alphabet, dating from 1600 BC, is the ancestor of all modern Western alphabets. Once introduced, it spread rapidly through the Middle East and finally, people of the time were able to write out complete words. Ideas could be expressed much more easily than before, and narrative stories and poetry began to appear. The first Greek alphabet was developed from the Phoenician one during the fifth century BC. It was changed, improved, and extended until it had great flexibility. It became known as the Ionic alphabet and had 24 characters. When the Romans smashed the Greek Empire, they adopted this alphabet and adapted it to their own needs
