The Iberian peninsula "

As its name implies, the Iberian scripts were found mainly in Spain and

Portugal, although some are found in southern France as well

The Iberian family of scripts is consisted of two "styles", called

Northeast and South. Structurally they are more or less the same, and

the major difference between them is (a) geographical location, and

(b) shape of the characters.

Both Iberian scripts contain monophonemic (that is, only one sound,

sort of like alphabetic) signs as well as syllabic ones.
