The Aramaic alphabet is a writing system that originated in ancient Aramaic, a Semitic language spoken in the Near East. It evolved from the Phoenician script around the 10th century BCE and consists of 22 characters, all of which represent consonants. Vowel sounds are typically not marked in the script, making it an abjad. The characters are written from right to left. The Aramaic alphabet has historical significance as it was widely used in various forms across the ancient Persian Empire and influenced many other scripts, including Hebrew and Arabic. Aramaic is notable for its role in religious texts, including portions of the Bible, and remains of interest in the study of ancient languages and cultures.
