Amorite is an early Northwest Semitic language spoken by the Amorite tribes prominent in ancient Near Eastern history. It is known exclusively from non-Akkadian proper names recorded by Akkadian scribes during periods of Amorite rule in Babylonia (end of the 3rd and beginning of the 2nd millennium) notably from Mari and to a lesser extent Alalakh Tell Harmal and Khafajah.
