Through Roman Empire

The dialect still retains echoes of earlier Imperial Aramaic. The lexicon bears influences from both Koine Greek and, to some extent, Arabic.

The dual had disappeared from it.

The written Palmyrene language was composed in a rounded Palmyrene alphabet script that later exhibited resemblances to the Syriac Estrangela script.
