الملخص EN

In 1812, Johan Ludwig Berkhart was able to reveal the history of the city of Petra in southern Jordan and its relationship with the Nabataean civilization, who presented a distinctive model in the arts of organization, construction and sculpture, and their civilization formed in Sinai, Jordan and parts of northern Arabia (169 BC - 106 AD) The first in the formation of the features of the ancient Arab society.

In 1985, Petra was inscribed on the UNESCO World Heritage List and was selected as one of the Seven New Wonders of the World in 2007 AD.

The Nabataean relationship with Aramaic was closely related, with Nabataeans influenced by Aramaic, language and writing.

The Nabataean dialect is the Nabataean dialect, a branch of the Aramaic language that was widespread in the region.

Some argue that the Arameans took their alphabet from the southern Canaanite, which ancient Greeks called Phoenician, and from the 8th century BC the Aramaic language overcame Canaanite to become the first language of the various regions of the ancient Near East.

Aramaic is read in its various lines, written as Arabic from right to left, and its ancient letters are separated from each other.

Aramaic differs from Arabic as there is no expression of the last words in the sentence.

Thus, the Nabataean pen gradually evolved between the third and fifth centuries AD and played a major role in the birth of Arabic calligraphy that spread with the advent of Islam.

It is the development of Aramaic writings, which gave way to the emergence of calligraphic and Kufic calligraphy, and some believe that the Syriac pen, which is originally a branch of Aramaic and which appeared in the third century AD, had contributed to the birth of our Arab pen.

In contemporary history, Chaldeans living in northern Mosul still speak a language close to Aramaic.

A trace of the prevailing Aramaic language is the local dialect of the inhabitants of the Syrian village of Maaloula.

Some argue that when we listen to the locals in Maaloula as they speak, you notice that the vocabulary is closer to Aramaic than modern Arabic and the pronunciation is closer to the Aramaic tongue than the Arabic tongue.
