  • Description
    • Greek is the original alphabet, being developed from the Phoenician abjad. While abjads are well suited to Semitic languages like Phoenician they do not fit a language like Greek, which made the Greeks add vowel symbols to the Phoenician abjad, thus creating the first alphabet.
  • In use
    • 750 B.C.E. -
