The [[northeastern Iberian script]] is also known as the Iberian script, because it is the [[Iberian script]] most frequently used (95% of the extant texts (Untermann 1990)). The northeastern Iberian inscriptions have been found mainly in the northeastern quadrant of the [[Iberian Peninsula]]: chiefly on the coast from [[Languedoc-Roussillon]] to [[Alicante]], but with a deep penetration into the [[Ebro valley]]. This script is almost completely deciphered.

All the [[paleohispanic scripts]], with the exception of the [[Greco-Iberian alphabet]], share a common distinctive typological characteristic: they use signs with syllabic value for the [[occlusive]]s and signs with monophonematic value for the remaining [[consonants]] and for [[vowels]]. From a [[writing systems]] point of view, they are neither [[alphabets]] nor [[syllabaries]]; rather, they are "mixed" scripts that are normally identified as [[semi-syllabary|semi-syllabaries]]. Regarding their origin, there is no agreement among researchers; for some linguists, they are linked only to the [[Phoenician alphabet]], while others see the [[Greek alphabet]] as playing a part.
