As an echo of a reflection on the phenomenon of “allography”, which means writing a text in a language with the script of another, this article questions this practice in the Phoenician-Punic world. The few cases listed are all different, and are not limited to a single interpretation. But they show that the Phoenician-Punic language has been maintained beyond the use of writing.
