| About B.C. 1200, the Phoenician who settled the seashore district in present-day Lebanon. After that, they went to the sea actively to seek tin, metal, diamond, rice and cotton. The greatest achievement that they left on the cultural history is that they produced the “Phoenician Character” used as the prototype of the alphabet. The Phoenician Character is divided into two flows roughly. One is a way to Greece. The Phoenician Character consisted of 22 consonants that became the form nearer to the present Alphabet adding vowels here. The other is a way to the Aram. The Aramean derived from the ancient Phoenician Character became the common language over West Asia then. It can be understood in that all of the present Central Asia system characters had the origin in the Aramaic alphabet. The background that they produced the Phoenician Character. It comes from the ethnicity of the Phoenician. They were a trading people who tradde with them at the sea. The sphere covered the Black Sea, the Atlantic Ocean (Britain), the Red Sea and the Indian Ocean. In the process of that, they built the Trading City State in every place, but then, there was one problem that they had to trade with people using the different languages. Before the Phoenician Character, there was the Sphenogram. But, they were too complicated when they used it while trading promptly. Then, the Phoenician Character which was the ideogram was produced. | |
