Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -The Phoenicians used cuneiform but later developed their own alphabet. This famous sequence of letters known to much of the world dates back to the 16th century B.C.E. A fairly small group of traders and merchants known as the Phoenicians created the foundation for the modern English alphabet and other alphabets.
