Iberian alphabet
The Iberian alphabet was an alphabet, with some of the features of a syllabary, that was used to write the Iberian and Celtiberian languages.
Swiggers assumes that the Iberic scripts are the result of a fusion of the Punic and Greek alphabetic traditions. The fact that the Iberian scripts are both alphabetic and syllabic is probably due to the nature of Iberian phonology. There are, as a matter of fact, "pro-Greek and pro-Semitic camps."
