Phoenician

Phoenician was spoken along the coast of the eastern Mediterranean, in what is now Lebanon and parts of Syria and northern Israel, in cities such as Tyre, Sidon, and Byblos. Through Phoenician trade and colonization it spread to Cyprus, Malta, Sicily, Sardinia, southern Spain, and North Africa, especially Carthage in modern Tunisia. It is extinct.
Phoenician is a Canaanite language, closely related to Hebrew. Its greatest legacy is its alphabet of 22 consonants, which developed around 1050 B.C. and became the ancestor of the Greek, Latin, Hebrew, Arabic, and Cyrillic alphabets. The western form of the language, Punic, spoken in Carthage, survived until about the 5th century A.D.
