User:Wikitiki89/Proto-Canaanite alphabet
This is a somewhat modified version of the table that used to be on the Proto-Canaanite alphabet article that is now merged with the Proto-Sinaitic alphabet. For some reason after the merger, it was decided that this table be removed from the page, so I will put in on my userspace for anyone who wants it (which, if no one else, at least includes myself).
