Ammonite is the extinct Canaanite language of the Ammonite people mentioned in the Bible, who used to live in modern-day Jordan, and after whom its capital Amman is named. Only fragments of their language survive—chiefly the 9th century BC Amman Citadel Inscription,[1] the 7th–6th century BC Tel Siran bronze bottle, and a few ostraca. As far as can be determined from the small corpus, it was extremely similar to Biblical Hebrew, with some possible Aramaic influence including the use of the verb <span lang="sem-x-ammonite-Latn" xml:lang="sem-x-ammonite-Latn" title="الترجمة اللفظية Semitic languages error: sem-x-ammonite is an IETF tag (help) " class="Unicode" style="white-space:normal; text-decoration: none">‘bd (עבד) instead of the more common Biblical Hebrew ‘śh (עשה) for قالب:Gloss. The only other notable difference with Biblical Hebrew is the sporadic retention of feminine singular -t (<span lang="sem-x-ammonite-Latn" xml:lang="sem-x-ammonite-Latn" title="الترجمة اللفظية Semitic languages error: sem-x-ammonite is an IETF tag (help) " class="Unicode" style="white-space:normal; text-decoration: none">’šħt قالب:Gloss, but <span lang="sem-x-ammonite-Latn" xml:lang="sem-x-ammonite-Latn" title="الترجمة اللفظية Semitic languages error: sem-x-ammonite is an IETF tag (help) " class="Unicode" style="white-space:normal; text-decoration: none">‘lyh قالب:Gloss.) Ammonite also appears to have possessed largely typical correspondences of diphthongs, with words such as <span lang="sem-x-ammonite-Latn" xml:lang="sem-x-ammonite-Latn" title="الترجمة اللفظية Semitic languages error: sem-x-ammonite is an IETF tag (help) " class="Unicode" style="white-space:normal; text-decoration: none">ywmt (יומת *yawmōt, قالب:Gloss) both preserving /aw/ and showing a shift to /o/, and other words such as <span lang="sem-x-ammonite-Latn" xml:lang="sem-x-ammonite-Latn" title="الترجمة اللفظية Semitic languages error: sem-x-ammonite is an IETF tag (help) " class="Unicode" style="white-space:normal; text-decoration: none">yn (ין قالب:Gloss) exhibiting a shift of /ay/ to ē (yēn < *yayn) much like Hebrew.[2]
It was first described as a separate language in 1970 by Italian Orientalist Giovanni Garbini.[3] Subsequently, a number of inscriptions previously identified as Hebrew, Phoenician, or Aramaic were reclassified, as a result of consensus around the similarity of the Amman Theatre Inscription, Amman Citadel Inscription, Tell Siren Bottle, Heshbon Ostraca, and Tell el-Mazer Ostraca.[4][5]
