Arabic Not Aramaic[edit]
the inscription is a little bit close to Aramaic but it's written in Arabic language, if you introduce it to any Arab person who is knowledgeable about Qura'an & classical Arabic then he will read it instantly
just because it used some Aramaic features that doesn't mean it's written in Aramaic
i suggest the editors to change the article information and write it's written in Arabic that's influenced by Aramaic
the script & Alphabet are Aramaic but the language is Arabic

Irfan Shahid's works[edit]
The introduction refers to one of Irfan Shahid's works. This author is not a reliable source since he is not a Semitic linguist. His works specifically dismiss the Aramaic language as Proto-Arabic. Fred Donner did an excellent review for his work and long story short: Amateurish pan-Arabist reflections to the past.
