I saw a scripture in what appeared to be the old south arabian alphabet written in a cave a while back idk if that technically counts it’s still Arabic language after all jus not in the modern day fusha writing. I’ll lyk if I can find the picture but it could be anywhere from 2000 BC to 600 AD.

I think i’ve seen this one, it’s sabaean right?
I mean Arabic modern day, the earliest i have found is 13th century but surely there’s older dated inscriptions?
