Which Fertile Crescent society developed an alphabet that was later the basis for Greek alphabet?

The Fertile Crescent society that developed an alphabet that was later the basis for the Greek alphabet was the Phoenicians.

The Phoenician alphabet, which consisted of 22 consonant symbols, was a major innovation in the history of writing. It was simpler and more efficient than earlier writing systems, and it made writing more accessible to a wider population.

The Greeks adopted the Phoenician alphabet, adding vowels and modifying some of the consonant symbols to create their own alphabet. This alphabet, in turn, became the foundation for many of the world's writing systems, including Latin, Cyrillic, and Arabic.
