Phoenician language

Phoenician was a language originally spoken in the coastal (Mediterranean) region then called "Canaan" in Phoenician, Arabic, Greek, and Aramaic, "Phoenicia" in Greek and Latin, and "Pūt" in the Egyptian language. It is a part of the Canaanite subgroup of the Northwest Semitic languages. Other members of the family are Hebrew, Ammonite, Moabite and Edomite. Since a trade agreement made between Etruscans and a group of Phoenicians around 500 BCE was found in 1964, more Etruscan has been deciphered through comparison to the more fully understood Phoenician.
