Answer:

Phoenician alphabet

Step-by-step explanation:

The early Greek alphabet was based on the Semitic alphabet of the Phoenicians. It is different from the linear and hieroglyphic scripts preceding it in that each symbol represents a single consonant as opposed to a syllable. The Phoenician alphabet consists of 22 characters with vowel sounds built into the symbols.
