Did the Greeks adopt the writing system from the Phoenicians

Answer 1

Yes, the Greeks adopted the writing system from the Phoenicians. The Phoenician alphabet was a practical and efficient writing system developed by the ancient Phoenician civilization. The Greeks then adapted and modified the Phoenician alphabet to suit their own needs, adding vowels and changing some of the letters to represent different sounds. This adapted system eventually became the Greek alphabet, which was later inherited by the Romans and numerous other civilizations.
