Phoenician – The Canaanite language

Christians believe that they are the descendants of Phoenicians hence, they do not consider themselves as Arabs. On the other hand, Muslims do not consider themselves as Phoenicians due to the fact that they have an Arabic background. However, based on their dialects, it seems that the Lebanese Muslims are more of Phoenicians than Christians. This can be attributed to the fact that Phoenicians inhabited the cities where most Lebanese lived and still live. Very little is known [...]

Phoenician was spoken in Lebanon, Tunisia, Southern Mediterranean Iberia, Southern France, Cyprus, Sicily, and Phoenician colonies throughout the Mediterranean Sea. The oldest traces of Phoenician date back to the 11th century BC, and the newest to the 1st century BC. A variant of Phoenician, Punic, was spoken in Carthage (Tunisia), until the 7th century BC. Phoenician's closest living relative is Hebrew.
