Do you have the sources for this?? I’m actually an Arabic speaker but I never knew the origin of my language. Some people believe Arabic is the origin of all languages (cough). Please link the resources 🙏🏻
The Brahmi Aramic connection is proposed and likely, but as far as I know there is no scholarly consensus
Hangeul?!
I’m pretty sure none of the languages that developed in North and South America descended from the Greek alphabet.
Does the Phoenician Alphabet (the actual direct source of lineage) come from Egyptian Hieroglyphics?
Here’s some papers which claims Brahmi is indigenously developed in India.
>*Within the scope of this paper, we shall look at the origins of the Brahmi script as a type of logography. Historical appreciation for the distinct anatomical symmetry and phonetic logic of the Brahmi script exists. This has led some outsiders to think that it is an import, yet a consensus has developed over time. „Brahmi“ is no longer thought to be a stolen script, but rather an Indigenous one that developed over time.*

>*Script of Brahmi has historically been praised for (i) distinct and symmetric anatomy and (ii) accurate and logical phonetic arrangement (Edward Thomas, 1858), (Isaac Taylor, 1899), (David Diringer, 1968). These qualities have often made the outsiders to conclude it as a foreign import, however gradually a broad consensus has emerged. It is now believed that “Brahmi” is not a borrowed script, but an adopted one that indigenously evolved in a progressive manner (Richard Salomon, 1998). Brahmi as a typographic entity has many unique features; other than the scientific order of its alphabets and precise phonetics, Brahmi typeface is Simple yet Elegant; Bold yet Lyrical; Distinct yet easy to memorize; Symmetrical with high legibility even when scaled down; and relatively easy to recognize when touched upon with closed eyes.*

Some letters of the Armenian alphabet come from Avestan / Pahlavi Iranian scripts.
Another alphabet that derives itself from the Greek one is Gothic, during the early medieval era.
There’s also the old Hungarian script which isn’t the primary writing system in Hungary of course.
As someone not from South America . The whole continent is a mystery to me . What was their origin language , culture , religion … what happened ? I know for sure Greek is not their root when it comes to languages .
The mother of all these languages is the “ooga booga”. Spoken by a set of elite scholars way before egypt even existed.
Ancient South Arabian script is still used in ornaments and accessories in Yemen
I find it fascinating that Mesopotamia was an independent civilization with their own script for 4000 years, yet it left no descendants…
Between the Aramaic to Hebrew, there’s [ancient Hebrew](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Biblical_Hebrew) or biblical Hebrew which its letters are different from modern Hebrew and very similar to Phoenician.
Chinese writing only appeared after the arrival of wheat from Southwest Asia. So, while Chinese writing is probably no direct descendent of a Southwest Asian writing system, the very concept / idea of writing (to represent spoken words) might have reached China from there.
