Macdonald (University of Oxford) Abstract Literacy was widespread in large areas of ancient Arabia, as shown by the huge numbers of graffiti by both settled people and nomads. But, it isstill extremely difficult to establish a reliable chronology for the literate periods of pre-Islamic Arabian history. This has led to a misuse of palaeography in an attempt to create chronological sequences based on letter forms from undated inscriptions and documents, on widely different kinds of surface, with different purposes, and often separated by large distances. This prac- tice is not confined to Arabian inscriptions but is widespread in Semitic epigraphy.

  • Case in the Qurˀānic Consonantal Text
    Case in the Qurˀānic Consonantal Text By MARIJN VAN PUTTEN (Leiden University) and PHILLIP W. STOKES (University of Tennessee) Abstract The nature of the language underlying the Qurˀānic Consonantal Text (QCT) has been a topic of scholarly discussion for well over a hundred years. The traditional position is that this language was essentially identical to that of the pre-Islamic poetry. The mismatch between the language of the reading traditions and the orthography has normally been explained as the result of orthographic conventions such as ‘pausal spelling’. A minority of scholars have challenged this view, suggesting instead that the Qurˀān was originally delivered in a local dialect and only subsequently brought in line with Classical Arabic. Neither permutation of these two positions has been based on the one part of the Qurˀānic text that can, with certainty, be dated back to the early Islamic period, the Qurˀānic Con- sonantal Text. This paper examines the nominal case system of Qurˀānic Arabic. Instead of relying on traditions that developed a century or more after the original composition of the Qurˀān, we rely primarily on the QCT itself, paying special attention to implications of internal rhyme schemata, as well as patterns in the orthography. We will show, based on internal data supported by, but not dependent upon, the orthography that the language behind the QCT possessed a functional but reduced case system, in which cases marked by long vowels were retained, whereas those marked by short vowels were mostly lost. A place where the short case vowel appear to have been retained is in construct.

Abstract This paper discusses the classification of the languages of Ancient North Arabia and Arabic as presented in the introduction of Routledge’s The Semitic Language’s handbook. Keywords : Arabic, Historical Linguistics, Language Classification, Semitic langua ge family, Arabian epigraphy 1 - Introduction The second edition of Routledge’s The Semitic Languages provides a state - of - the - art introduction to the classification of the Semitic languages (Huehnergard and Pat - El 2019: 1 - 21) . It includes a comprehensive cladistic model based on the principle of shared innovations. And unlike most trees repres enting the Semitic language family, this one includes the poorly documented epigraphic languages of North Arabia. When this model was compiled, there was not yet a comprehensive grammatical summary of the epigraphic languages of North Arabia and so the aut hors followed the general treatment of epigraphist, namely, to lump them all together in a © The International Journal of Arabic Linguistics (IJAL) Vol. 5 Issue 2 (pp. 86 - 99 ) single sub - grouping – “North Arabian”. 1 A welcome departure from the old model , however, is the creation of a new sub - grouping comprising Safaitic and Arabic: “Arabi c - Safaitic”. In this short note, I will discuss the classification of the North Arabian “languages” based on evidence from newly discovered and deciphered texts, and push back on the idea of an Arabic - Safaitic subgrouping.

  • Arabia and the Arabs
    ARABIA AND THE ARABS Long before Muhammad preached the religion of Islam, the inhabitants of his native Arabia had played an important role in world history as both merchants and warriors. Arabia and the Arabs provides the only up-to-date, one-volume survey of the region and its peoples from prehistory to the coming of Islam. Using a wide range of sources – inscriptions, poetry, histories and archaeological evidence – Robert Hoyland explores the main cultural areas of Arabia, from ancient Sheba in the south to the deserts and oases of the north. He then examines the major themes of: •the economy • society •religion •art, architecture and artefacts •language and literature •Arabhood and Arabisation. The volume is illustrated with more than fifty photographs, drawings and maps. Robert G. Hoyland has been a research fellow of St John’s College, Oxford since 1994. He is the author of Seeing Islam As Others Saw It and several articles on the history of the Middle East. He regularly conducts fieldwork in the region.

Satz: LuaTEX und Bernhard Assmann Phenetic Approach to Script Evolution Gábor Hosszú Abstract Computational palaeography, as a branch of applied computer science, investigates the evolution of graphemes, explores relationships between scripts, and provides support for deciphering ancient inscriptions, among others. The author applied methods often used to describe evolutionary processes in phylogenetics to analyse the development of scripts. Unlike in the clear evolution of phylogenetics, graphemes used to describe the evolution of scripts are sometimes indistinguishable from their glyph variants. Moreover, the historical background is at times incomplete. In order to reduce uncertainty, the author developed an exploratory data analysis method that combines phenetic analysis methods with a cladistic approach.

  • A Thamudic B Abecedary in the South Semitic Letter Order
    A Thamudic B Abecedary in the South Semitic Letter Order Ahmad Al-Jallad and Ali Al-Manaser 1 Introduction The rock under consideration was discovered by Dr. Sabri Abbadi in 2004 dur- ing a survey in Wādī al-Ḥašād about 45 km to the northeast of aṣ-Ṣafawī, near the north-eastern border of Jordan.1 Dr. Ali al-Manaser kindly provided the photograph, but the exact location of the rock remains unknown. The obelisk- shaped slab of basalt, measuring 133 centemeters, from the base to the apex, by 34 centemeters, bears two Thamudic B inscriptions on a single face. While it is not unusual to encounter the occasional Thamudic B inscription in north- eastern Jordan and southern Syria, they are far more common in what is today Saudi Arabia. The significance of this particular find, however, lies in its con- tents. The inscriptions attest several unique letter shapes not known from else- where, unusual inscriptional formulae, and the first attestation of a Thamudic B abecedary, which follows the South Semitic order. Before examining the texts themselves, a few remarks on the language inscribed in the Thamudic B script is in order. As is well known, Thamudic is a conventional label applied to the Ancient North Arabian (ANA) scripts which have not been precisely classified in any of the established categories;2 the term, therefore, does not refer to a single script, nor does it suggest that the scripts labeled Thamudic are more closely related to each other as opposed to other varieties of the South Semitic script. Our knowledge of the languages these scripts express is even more fragmentary.
