Everything about The Cypriot Syllabary totally explained
The
Cypriot syllabary is a
syllabic script used in
Iron Age Cyprus, from ca. the
11th up to the
4th century BC, when it was replaced by the
Greek alphabet. A pioneer of that change was king
Evagoras of
Salamis. It is descended from the
Cypro-Minoan syllabary, in turn a variant or derivative of
Linear A. Most texts using the script are in the
Arcadocypriot dialect of
Greek, but some bilingual (Greek and
Eteocypriot) inscriptions were found in
Amathus.
