The Nabataean alphabet is a consonantal alphabet (otherwise called abjad) that was used by the Nabataeans in the 2nd century BC. Its most significant inscriptions were found in Petra, Jordan. The alphabet descended from the , which developed from the Aramaic alphabet. Consequently, the cursive form of Nabataean grew into the Arabic alphabet in the 4th century, which is why the Nabataean's letterforms seem like a mixture between the more northerly Semitic scripts (such as the Aramaic-derived Hébreu0590–05FF ) and those of Arabic.
