Invention of alphabet is the achievement of which civilization?

The invention of the alphabet is often attributed to the ancient Phoenician civilization, which developed one of the earliest known alphabets around 1050 BCE. This Phoenician alphabet consisted of 22 consonantal letters and served as a precursor to many modern alphabets, including Greek and Latin. The Greeks adapted the Phoenician system, adding vowels, which further influenced the development of writing systems in the Western world.
