If Linear B was the basis for the Roman Alphabet?

The Roman Syllabary, still often called the Traditional European Syllabary, is ultimately derived from Cretan glyphs, spread by the civilization of MiKeNa across the northern Mediterranean. The TiRiNi-ans simplified the syllabary for their own use, which the people of RoMa imported more or less wholesale. The RoMa-n empire spread the Syllabary across Europe, where it is still used today for sacred or traditional texts, from LonDon to hRiBõ to PuKăReȚî, as well of course in KaToLi-c documents around the world.


Everybody else mostly writes in Hebrew nowaday, though. It’s much easier that way.
