The Southeast Iberian script (or South Iberian) is one of several closely related syllabic scripts of the Old Hispanic scripts that were used on the Iberian Peninsula before and at the beginning of Roman rule . It is unclear whether they go back to Phoenician models directly or indirectly via Greek letters. The southeast Iberian script was used in the 5th to 1st centuries BC in the southeast of the Iberian Peninsula to record the language of the Iberians . The Southeast Iberian script is very similar to the South Lusitan script and has only been incompletely researched. The characters are partly open syllables made up of plosive sounds and vowels, and some are single sounds. Most of the writing was written from right to left.
