The Phoenician Alphabet & Language

<p>The Phoenician Alphabet &amp; Language written by Thamis and narrated by Jennifer Sabir: <a href="https://member.worldhistory.org/article/17/the-phoenician-alphabet--language/" target="_blank">https://www.worldhistory.org/article/17/the-phoenician-alphabet--language/</a></p> <p><br /></p> <p>Phoenician is a Canaanite language closely related to Hebrew. Very little is known about the Canaanite language, except what can be gathered from the El-Amarna letters written by Canaanite kings to Pharaohs Amenhopis III (1402 - 1364 BCE) and Akhenaton (1364 - 1347 BCE). It appears that the Phoenician language, culture, and writing were strongly influenced by Egypt (which controlled Phoenicia for a long time), as king Rib-Adda of Byblos admits in one of his letters to the pharaoh.</p> <p><br /></p> <p><br /></p> <p>If you like our audio articles, please support us by becoming a member or donating to our non-profit company:</p> <p>- <a href="https://member.worldhistory.org/membership/" target="_blank">www.worldhistory.org/membership/</a></p> <p>- <a href="https://pages.donately.com/worldhistory/campaigns" target="_blank">www.worldhistory.org/donate/</a></p> <p>- <a href="https://www.patreon.com/m/whencyclopedia" target="_blank">www.worldhistory.org/patreon/</a></p> <p>- <a href="https://worldhistory.store/#!/" target="_blank">www.worldhistory.store/</a></p> <p><br /></p> <p>Music Used: </p> <p>Invocation (Ancient Egyptian Melody) by ÆUR</p> <p>Listen: <a href="https://artist.landr.com/music/628810853472" target="_blank">https://artist.landr.com/music/628810853472</a></p> <p>Reviews: <a href="https://www.reverbnation.com/%C3%86UR/press" target="_blank">https://www.reverbnation.com/ÆUR/press</a></p>
