Paleohispanic scripts

Writing systems used before the Latin alphabet in Iberia

The Paleohispanic scripts are the writing systems created in the Iberian Peninsula before the Latin alphabet became the main script. They derive from the Phoenician alphabet, with the exception of the Greco-Iberian alphabet that is a direct adaptation of the Greek alphabet. Some researchers believe the Greek alphabet may also have had a role in the origin of the other Paleohispanic scripts. Most of them are unusual in that they are semi-syllabic rather than purely alphabetic.
