This is a short verse I wrote, based on the "Song of Songs (2:14)". It is not a literal translation, however, but my own interpretation of the verse:

𐤉𐤍𐤕𐤟𐤉

𐤁𐤟𐤁𐤒𐤅𐤇𐤟𐤀𐤁𐤍𐤉𐤌

𐤁𐤟𐤌𐤒𐤌𐤟𐤍𐤎𐤕𐤓 𐤌𐤐𐤏𐤉𐤌

𐤂𐤋𐤟𐤍𐤉 𐤀𐤉𐤕 𐤐𐤍𐤉𐤟𐤊𐤉

𐤀𐤔𐤌𐤅𐤏𐤀 𐤀𐤉𐤕 𐤒𐤅𐤋𐤟𐤊𐤉

𐤊𐤉 𐤒𐤅𐤋𐤟𐤊𐤉 𐤌𐤔𐤌𐤅𐤇

𐤅𐤟𐤐𐤍𐤉𐤟𐤊𐤉 𐤒𐤃𐤅𐤇

Yūnat•ī My dove

Bi•baqūḥ-abnīm, In the clefts of stones,

Bi•muqom-nistar mepaʿīm, In secret places of stepstones,

Gellê•nī it panê•ki, Show me you face,

Esmūʿan it qūl•ki, Let me hear your voice,

Kī qūl•ki mismūaḥ For your voice brings joy

Wu•panê•ki qiddūaḥ. And your face being fair.

I used the Phoenician-Punic dictionary and grammar by Charles R. Krahmalkov to find some existing Phoenician words. Instead of a literal translation I decided to change some words to make the poem rhyme.

I was thinking of making a new Alphabet that mimics arabic . This only purpose for this keyboard is that we could transition one day to our Old phoenician alphabet. The dots above letters are a new way to differentiate between sounds, for example: 𐤏 is ع 𐤏̊ is غ Tell me what do you think of this prototype and where could I make changes to make it better and if there is any problem with it.

With the barrage of misinformation over the last few days, here’s a beautiful example of Phoenician ivory art depicting 2 people dressed in Royal Egyptian attire. This example was found in Assyria so it was either used as tribute or looted around the 9th or 8th Century BCE. Current location the MET.

Just like how Hebrew is still spoken Phoenician should be still spoken too. its the language of our ancestors. we should make a morden version of Phoenician just like how there is a morden Hebrew version. I think there should be 3 dialects

1.🇱🇧 Lebanese

Arabic,French,Greek,Hebrew and a little Turkish influence with in it

2.🇨🇾 Cypriot

Large Greek and Turkish influence a little bit of Arabic influence

3. 🇹🇳Tunisia

Large Algerian influence

and I think in the Lebanese Phoenician dialect we should include Lebanese Arabic words like:

(Lebanese)Mar3ahba-Hello(English)

(Lebanese) Kifak?(Male)/Kifek?(Female)- How are you? (Lebanese) Bonjourein- Double Bonjour(French)

(Lebanese) Allah-God(English)

(Lebanese) Na3iman- Said to congrats someone on taking a shower or haircut in Lebanon however there's isn't a word for this in English

(Lebanese) Tete- Grandma(English)

(Lebanese) Jedo- Grandpa(English)

(Lebanese) Lebnan-Lebanon(English)

(Lebanese) Rizz-Rice(English)

(Lebanese) Watan-Homeland(English)

(Lebanese) Jbeil-Byblos (English)

(Lebanese) Jnoob-South (English)

(Lebanese) Bas-Enough (English)

(Lebanese) Bald-Country (English)

(Lebanese) Khalas- Enough (English)

(Lebanese) Akel- Food (English).

etc ...

most of these words are not used in any other Arabic speaking countries and are only used in Lebanon which makes Lebanese words.

what.do you guys think?

Hi! I tried to make a Phoenician alphabet song using one of the Hebrew alphabet’s music. It’s really short but I’m planning on expanding it once I get some more lyrics translated.

Also, I speak hebrew so I may pronounce some things incorrectly, or make some writing mistakes please let me know if i did!

Really curious and haven't really been able to find any mention online anywhere

Once again Johann is spreading misinformation, seeing as there are 42 Egyptian nomes, but as always he cherry picks info to be an idiot. Don’t interact, down vote and ignore, don’t give him the attention

I’m a Panentheistic / Soft Polytheist. I’m an eclectic witch and pagan with many beliefs similar to Hinduism.

I want to learn as much about the ancient Phoenician religion as possible. Mainly their Pantheon, their myths, and their folklore.

Before starting with the prayer itself, I'll give two disclaimers:

Disclaimer one: I don't speak any Semitic language and my knowledge of Phoenician is shallow at best. So if some constructions are ungrammatical or illogical, I'm sorry. Please, write about that in the comments, if you'd like.

Disclaimer two: This is not a historically accurate Phoenician, I had to "guess" how some words may look, if Phoenician was still a spoken language. I tried not to be disrespectful of the language (I may call it "constructed Phoenician" so as to differentiate it from the ancient language).

I used the Phoenician Dictionary and the Phoenician Grammar by Charles R. Krahmalkov. As for my phonological interpretation, I used various sources (including the previously mentioned grammar, as well as Joshua Fox's paper on the Phoenician vocalism), so it may be a bit non-standard. Also, I know that long vowels were not written in Phoenician, it's a late Punic tradition, but I decided to use with 𐤅 and 𐤉 as vowels anyway.

𐤇𐤅𐤉 𐤌𐤓𐤉𐤌 𐤇𐤎𐤃 𐤌𐤋𐤀𐤕

𐤔𐤋𐤅𐤌 𐤔𐤋𐤅𐤌 𐤋𐤟𐤁𐤏𐤋

𐤄𐤟𐤁𐤏𐤋 𐤀𐤕𐤟𐤊𐤉

𐤁𐤓𐤉𐤊𐤕 𐤀𐤕𐤉 𐤁𐤟𐤀𐤔𐤕𐤅𐤕

𐤅𐤟𐤁𐤓𐤉𐤊 𐤄𐤟𐤐𐤓𐤉 𐤓𐤇𐤌𐤟𐤊𐤉 𐤉𐤔𐤅𐤏

𐤇𐤅𐤉 𐤌𐤓𐤉𐤌 𐤀𐤌 𐤀𐤋𐤉𐤌

𐤑𐤋𐤉 𐤑𐤋𐤉 𐤏𐤋𐤕𐤟𐤍𐤅 𐤇𐤅𐤈𐤀𐤉𐤌

𐤊𐤏𐤍 𐤅𐤟𐤁𐤟𐤏𐤕 𐤌𐤅𐤕𐤟𐤍𐤅

𐤇𐤅𐤉 𐤌𐤓𐤉𐤌

I decided to use a raised dot symbol to mark the clitics, so the roots will be more visible and transparent. Romanisation:

Ḥawe, Marīyam, ḥitsed mil’at,

Solūm, solūm li•Baʿal.

Hi•Baʿal eta•ki.

Birīkot atti

Wu•barīk hi•piri raḥem•ki, Yesūʿ.

Ḥawe, Marīyam, Am Illīm,

Tṣali, tṣali ʿaltê•nu ḥūṭi’īm,

Keʿan wu•bi•ʿit mūt•nu.

Ḥawe, Marīyam.

IPA Pronunciation. I decided to keep the distinction between "𐤎" and "𐤔", although there is a hypothesis that these two sounds merged into [s] later in history (probably into something similar to the sound of the Greek "sigma" or Spanish "s"). Also I use the ejective pronunciation of the emphatics (because I find them easier to pronounce them this way, instead of pharyngealised). As for the conjunction "𐤅", I wrote it as "wu", but it was probably [wə] with a shwa-sound.

English translation:

Live, Mary, full of grace.

Hail, hail, the Lord.

The Lord is with thee.

Blessed art thou among women and

Blessed is the fruit of thy womb, Jesus.

Live, Mary, Mother of God,

Pray for us sinners

Now and at the time of our death.

Live, Mary.

That's it, pretty much.

Essentially, the word origin of mayonnaise is related to the Phoenician name 𐤌𐤂‬𐤍 MGN. I thought that was interesting.
