The Phoenicians did not use cuneiform because they developed their own writing system, known as the Phoenician alphabet. This alphabet was easier to use and suited the needs of the Phoenician traders and merchants. Cuneiform was associated with Mesopotamian cultures, and the Phoenicians had their own distinct cultural identity.
