Let's be honest; the only people who matter in the least when discussing
a script is the people who actually use it. And all evidence presented here
indicates that scholars of Semitic languages--that is, the people who can
actually read the stuff written in the script--are, not surprisingly, the
majority users of Phoenician.
(As a rhetorical device,) I have to say that I'm puzzled by this. All I've seemed to hear from Semiticists is that Phoenician is not a separate script. How, then, can these same Semiticists be the major users of something that doesn't exist?
