The protosinatique alphabet, also called protocananen alphabet, is one of the oldest alphabets known. It is, derivations and subsequent revisions to the origin of most alphabets used today.
This linear alphabet . Generally referred protosinatiques poorly deciphered the inscriptions the oldest dating back half of the Bronze Age (between -2000 and -1525) and those protocananennes, safer, from the end of the Bronze Age (between -1525 and -1200), written in a Semitic language.
The Egyptian origin of this writing is corroborated by other evidence: the principle acrophonic is checked for a large number of symbols. We have seen that these symbols can be attached to the Egyptian symbol which they come. Taking the name of the Semitic symbol, we see that its phonetic value is often the beginning of this Semitic name. We explain this as simply being the inventors of the alphabet Semitic speakers knowing the meaning of hieroglyphics.
