Moabite language

*** Shopping-Tip: Moabite language
The '''Moabite language''' is an extinct Hebrew languages Hebrew Canaanite language Canaanite dialect, spoken in Moab (modern-day northwestern Jordan) in the early first millennium BC. Most of our knowledge about Moabite comes from the Mesha Stele, as well as the [http://www.kchanson.com/ANCDOCS/westsem/elkerak.html El-Kerak Stela]; this is sufficient to show that it was extremely similar to Biblical Hebrew, despite a few differences. The main differences noted in the admittedly short text are: a plural in ''-Ã®n'' rather than ''-Ã®m'' (eg ''mlkn'' "kings" for Biblical Hebrew ''mÉ™lÄ?kÃ®m''), like Aramaic language Aramaic and Arabic language Arabic; retention of the feminine ending ''-at'' which Biblical Hebrew reduces to ''-Ä?h'' (e.g. ''qryt'' "town", Biblical Hebrew ''qiryÄ?h'') but retains in the construct state nominal form (e.g.''qiryÃ¡t yisrael'' "town of Israel"); and retention of a verb form with infixed ''-t-'', also found in Arabic language Arabic and Akkadian language Akkadian (''w-â€™ltá¸¥m'' "I began to fight", from the root ''lá¸¥m''.)
