No, the only people that claim to descend from the phoenician people are a portion of the Christian Lebanese population who choose to denounce Arabic language and culture purely based on their hate towards Islam, and Muslims. However, a majority of Christian Lebanese people are proud to be a part of the Arab community regardless of religion or creed. Another reason for them to distance themselves from Arabs is so that they may seem appealing to the European people. The closest languages spoken today that are even remotely close to the ancient Punic or Phoenician language are Arabic, Amharic, Aramaic, and Hebrew, all semetic languages stemming from the original Semetic language that was believed to have been spoken by Shem, the son of prophet Noah, and his decendants. I hope that I've answered your question.
