PaleoHebrew

Paleo-Hebrew is an ancient script used by early Hebrew-speaking populations around 1000 BCE. It is a consonant-based alphabet that evolved from earlier Semitic scripts and is visually similar to Phoenician writing. This script was used for inscriptions, religious texts, and everyday writing before the development of the square Hebrew script used today. Its characters are simplified and distinct, providing insights into the language, culture, and history of early Israelites. Today, Paleo-Hebrew is studied by scholars, and its characters are sometimes used in historical or religious contexts to connect with ancient Jewish heritage.
