Palmyrene or Palmyrenean was a West Aramaic dialect spoken in the city of Palmyra Syria in the early centuries AD. The development of cursive versions of Aramaic led to the creation of the Palmyrene alphabets.Other West Aramaic dialects include Nabataean and Judeo-Aramaic. West Aramaic dialects continue to be spoken in a few villages in Syria such as Ma’loula Bakh`a and Jubb`adin.
