Ugaritic script

Ugaritic script is an ancient writing system used in the city of Ugarit, a port city in modern-day Syria, around 1400 to 1200 BCE. It consists of 30 characters that represent sounds or syllables, making it a form of cuneiform writing derived from various Semitic languages. Ugaritic is significant because it provides insights into the culture, religion, and daily life of the Ugaritic people, including their myths and administrative practices. The discovery of Ugaritic texts has enriched our understanding of ancient Near Eastern civilizations and their contributions to writing and literature.
