Aramaic alphabet
The ancient
Aramaic alphabet
is adapted from the
Phoenician alphabet
and became distinctive from it by the 8th century BCE. It was used to write the
Aramaic language
, and had displaced the
Paleo-Hebrew alphabet
for the writing of
Hebrew
. The letters all represent
consonants
, some of which are
matres lectionis
, which also indicate long
vowels
.
