Answer:

The answer is below

Explanation:

Minoan writing can be described as a form of written language or system that is expressed in form of signs that depicts the sounds of spoken words and syllables.

Although, it is considered unknown and unclassified. It reflects an Indo-European language. It also contains verb-subject-object.

It started or emanated from the Cretan Hieroglyphic which has been in existence as far back as 2100 to 1700 BCE.

It then transformed to Linear A, which was extensively used around 1800 to 1450 BCE.

It was Linear A that later metamorphosed to Linear B around 1450 to 1200 BCE.

It can be categorized in the following forms:

1. numerals and metrical signs,

2. phonetic signs,

3. ligatures and composite signs, and

4. ideograms.
