Editing Iberian scripts (section)

==Origins==
{{main|Paleohispanic scripts}}
The Iberian scripts are classified as [[Paleohispanic scripts]] for convenience and based on broad similarities, but their relationships to each other and to neighboring contemporaneous scripts, such as Greco-Iberian, are not firmly established. It is generally accepted that they were derived at least partly from the [[Greek alphabet]] and/or [[Phoenician alphabet]], with which they share many similar-looking [[glyph]]s. Some researchers{{who|date=April 2019}} conclude that the origin of the northern and southern Iberian scripts ultimately lies solely with the Phoenician alphabet; others{{who|date=April 2019}} believe the Greek alphabet also played a role; others still{{who|date=April 2019}} have suggested influences from [[Old Italic script|Old Italic]]. It appears that either the glyphs themselves were changed, or that they assumed new values.{{citation needed|date=April 2019}} For example, the southern glyph for /e/ derives from Phoenician ''‘[[ayin]]'' or Greek [[Omicron|Ο]], whereas northern /e/ resembles Phoenician ''[[He (letter)|he]]'' or Greek [[Epsilon|Ε]], though the letter arguably{{citation needed|date=April 2019}} had the value of /be/ in southern Iberian.<!--confusing--> However, it is clear that they had a common origin, and the most commonly accepted hypothesis is that the northeastern script derives from the southeastern script.
