Ethiopian script is a derivative of Old South Arabian script and a relative of Old North Arabian script and the only surviving member of the South Semitic family.

The script was completely replaced by Nabateo-Arabic in the Arabian Peninsula surviving only in the epigraphic record and Ethiopian shops’ signs; and as part of tourism promotion in alUla
