The Ammonite language is the extinct Canaanite language of the Ammonite people mentioned in the Bible, who used to live in modern-day Jordan, and after whom its capital Amman is named. Only fragments of their language survive - chiefly the 9th century BC Amman Citadel Inscription, the 7th-6th century BC Tell Siran bronze bottle, and a few ostraca.

  • The Ammonite language is the extinct Canaanite language of the Ammonite people mentioned in the Bible, who used to live in modern-day Jordan, and after whom its capital Amman is named. Only fragments of their language survive - chiefly the 9th century BC Amman Citadel Inscription, the 7th-6th century BC Tell Siran bronze bottle, and a few ostraca. As far as can be determined from this small corpus, it was extremely similar to Biblical Hebrew, with some possible Aramaic influence including the use of the verb ‘bd instead of the more common Biblical Hebrew ‘śh for "to work" (a similar Aramaic influence is witnessed in Modern Hebrew in which ‘bd may mean "work", e.g. as in the name of the Israeli Labor Party, `Avoda). The only other notable difference with Biblical Hebrew is the sporadic retention of feminine singular -t (eg ’šħt "cistern", but ‘lyh "high ".)
  • Język amonicki - wymarły język semicki z grupy kananejskiej, bardzo blisko spokrewniony z językiem hebrajskim, używany w starożytności na terenach dzisiejszej Jordanii przez Amonitów (od których wzięła nazwę stolica Jordanii Amman). Znany z nielicznych inskrypcji, głównie na Cytadeli w Ammanie.
