Nabataean Arabic was the dialect of Arabic spoken by the Nabataeans in antiquity. It was succeeded by the Paleo-Arabic script.
In the first century AD, the Nabataeans wrote their inscriptions, such as the legal texts carved on the façades of the monumental tombs at Mada'in Salih, ancient Ḥegrā, in Nabataean Aramaic.
It is probable, however, that some or all of them, possibly in varying proportion depending on the region of the Nabataean Kingdom where they lived, spoke Arabic.[1]
