Cypro-Minoan script was used in the Late Bronze Age (1550-1050 BCE). Nowadays approximately 250 examples have been found, mainly on the island of Cyprus and in the ancient city of Ugarit (12 km north of modern-day Latakia). There have also been discoveries in Tiryns, Greece.

Scholars do not have a consolidated opinion on the origin of the Cypro-Minoan script. However, there are some theories to consider:

  • J. F. Daniels believed that it developed from Linear A script through natural evolution.
  • Silvia Ferrara defended the theory that it was specifically designed and implemented by command.
  • F. Soldano suggested that Cretan hieroglyphs served as the basis for this script.

Attempts to decipher the Cypro-Minoan script have not been successful, so it is not possible to determine the languages it recorded. It is known to be syllabic and was written from left to right.
