Japanese: アラム文字 - アラムもじ(英語表記)Aramaic script
Aramaic script - Aramaic script (English spelling)
The writing system used by the Aramaeans in ancient Western Asia
It is an alphabet consisting of 22 consonants, which spread along with Aramaic, and in the second half of the 1st millennium BC it was used throughout Southwest Asia, replacing cuneiform script, and vowel symbols were also created. After Hellenism it spread further eastward, becoming the basis for the Turkic and Sogdian scripts, which then led to the Uighur and Mongolian and Manchu scripts. The Arabic script also emerged in West Asia from this lineage.

古代西アジアでアラム人が使った文字
22字の子音よりなるアルファベット文字で,アラム語とともに広まり,前1000年紀後半には楔形 (くさびがた) 文字に代わって全西南アジアで使われ,母音記号も作られた。ヘレニズム以後さらに東方に広まり,突厥 (とつけつ) 文字・ソグド文字のもととなり,さらにウイグル文字をへてモンゴル文字・満州文字につながっている。また,西アジア地方でもこの系統からアラビア文字が成立した。
