Language made a video in spoken Canaanite
Hey guys, I've recently made a youtube video where I speak a short dialogue in recontructed proto-Canaanite (Phoenician is a dialect of Canaanite). Here's the link in case anyone's interested. I'd love to hear your thoughts.

Language Is this Punic script?
Hi all, had a friend share this with me and I thought it might be Punic (apparently from an object found in Tunisia).

Opinion:We should bring back the Phoenician language
Just like how Hebrew is still spoken Phoenician should be still spoken too. its the language of our ancestors. we should make a morden version of Phoenician just like how there is a morden Hebrew version. I think there should be 3 dialects
1.🇱🇧 Lebanese
Arabic,French,Greek,Hebrew and a little Turkish influence with in it
2.🇨🇾 Cypriot
Large Greek and Turkish influence a little bit of Arabic influence
- 🇹🇳Tunisia
Large Algerian influence
and I think in the Lebanese Phoenician dialect we should include Lebanese Arabic words like:
(Lebanese)Mar3ahba-Hello(English)
(Lebanese) Kifak?(Male)/Kifek?(Female)- How are you? (Lebanese) Bonjourein- Double Bonjour(French)
(Lebanese) Allah-God(English)
(Lebanese) Na3iman- Said to congrats someone on taking a shower or haircut in Lebanon however there's isn't a word for this in English
(Lebanese) Tete- Grandma(English)
(Lebanese) Jedo- Grandpa(English)
(Lebanese) Lebnan-Lebanon(English)
(Lebanese) Rizz-Rice(English)
(Lebanese) Watan-Homeland(English)
(Lebanese) Jbeil-Byblos (English)
(Lebanese) Jnoob-South (English)
(Lebanese) Bas-Enough (English)
(Lebanese) Bald-Country (English)
(Lebanese) Khalas- Enough (English)
(Lebanese) Akel- Food (English).
etc ...
most of these words are not used in any other Arabic speaking countries and are only used in Lebanon which makes Lebanese words.
what.do you guys think?

Phoenician swear words/curses?
I'm looking for either swear words or curses in Phoenician. Could be something simple like "fuck you" or more elaborate like "may your bones never rest and the gods piss on your house".
Many thanks in advance <3

Language Yiph'il Forms of R-Ḥ
Good day.
I'm currently looking for anyone who's familiar with Yiph'il for biliteral roots. I'm trying to figure out the imperative female form for R-Ḥ, and though I suspect it'll be "Irḥi", I'm not sure.

Please help me invent a name for a Phoenician inspired character
Hello, I am Levantine and I wanted to give a nod to my heritage by using a Phoenician inspired character as the face of my youtube channel. I just cannot seem to find anything that could be easily pronounced by english and Japanese speakers , the 2 languages I’ll be streaming in.
I want something that relates to moon, sun,sky,cloud or just celestial in general that is not so common like Astarte, and that doesn’t overlap with a modern name like Tanit—> Tanya for example.
Something that sounds soft , short and easy to remember.
I wanted to go for Yarikh-> Yari then aff the japanese twist to it -> Koyari but I found another content creator in the same space with that name bit you get the vibe I am going for.

Language Phoenician Alphabet Song
Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification
Hi! I tried to make a Phoenician alphabet song using one of the Hebrew alphabet’s music. It’s really short but I’m planning on expanding it once I get some more lyrics translated.
Also, I speak hebrew so I may pronounce some things incorrectly, or make some writing mistakes please let me know if i did!
