Palmyrene Aramaic was a Western Aramaic dialect spoken in the city of Palmyra, Syria, in the early centuries AD. It is solely known from inscriptions dating from the 1st century BC to 273.[1]
The dual had disappeared from it.[1]
The development of cursive versions of the Aramaic alphabet led to the creation of the Palmyrene alphabet.
