Historians think the Phoenicians were the first civilisation in the world to use an alphabet. They also think that all the alphabets in the world today come from the Phoenician alphabet. The Phoenicians invented an alphabet and a writing system around 1400 BC because they wanted to communicate with their trading partners in Greece, Rome, and Egypt.
