Minaic language
Minaic was the Ancient South Arabian language of the Kingdom of Ma'in in the al-Jawf region of Yemen, written in the South Arabian script. It is known from inscriptions of roughly the 8th to the 1st century BCE, found in Yemen and at Minaean trading posts as far as Dedan in north-western Arabia, Egypt and the Aegean island of Delos. It is closely related to Sabaic.
