Namara inscription
The Namara inscription ((アラビア語:نقش النمارة) ') is usually interpreted as an early example of the Arabic language, but is sometimes interpreted as a late version of the Nabataean language in its transition to Arabic. It has been described by Irfan Shahid as "the most important Arabic inscription of pre-Islamic times"〔Irfan Shahîd, ''Byzantium and the Arabs in the Fourth Century'', (Dumbarton Oaks, 2006), 31.〕 and by Kees Versteegh as "the most famous Arabic inscription".〔Kees Versteegh and C. H. M. Versteegh, ''The Arabic Language'', (Columbia University Press, 1997), 31.〕 It is also an important source for the relationships between the Romans and the Arabs in the fourth century AD.
==Differences from Arabic language==
The inscription is written in the Nabatean Aramaic script but there are ambiguities of interpretation as the script has only 22 signs (some with added annotations) and the Arabic dialect had 28 or 29 consonants. The script has ligatures between some letters, showing a transition towards an Arabic script. Some of the terms used in the text are closer to Aramaic than Arabic; for example, it uses the Aramaic patronymic "b-r" rather than the Arabic term "b-n". However, most of the text is very close to the classical Arabic used in the Qu'ran in the 6th century.
