Phoenician alphabet
The basic part of the discussion about Phoenician alphabet in "Scripta Minoa, Vol. 1" takes place in the section "Cretan Philistines and the Phoenician Alphabet". Modern scholars now see it as a continuation of the Proto-Canaanite alphabet from ca. 1400 BC, adapted to writing a Canaanite (Northwest Semitic) language. The Phoenician alphabet seamlessly continues the Proto-Canaanite alphabet, by convention called Phoenician from the mid-11th century, where it is first attested on inscribed bronze arrowheads.
