The Phoenicians influenced language today by creating an alphabet that linked symbols to sounds in a spoken language. This Phoenician alphabet eventually evolved into various writing systems used by numerous languages, including the Greek and Latin alphabets, which are the basis for many modern alphabets such as English, Spanish, French, and Italian. The development of this writing system allowed for the spread of literacy and the recording of language, which greatly influenced the development and preservation of languages throughout history.
