The Aramaic alphabet, a modified form of Phoenician, was the ancestor of the modern Arabic and Hebrew scripts, as well as the Br?hm? script, the parent writing system of most modern abugidas in India, Southeast Asia, Tibet, and Mongolia.

The Aramaic alphabet is historically significant since virtually all modern Middle Eastern writing systems use a script that can be traced back to it
