Everything about The Edomite Language totally explained

The Edomite language was a form of Hebrew spoken by the Edomites in southwestern Jordan in the first millennium BC. It is known only from a very small corpus. In early times, it seems to have been written with a Canaanite alphabet; like the Moabite form of Hebrew, it retained feminine -t. However, in the 6th century BC, it adopted the Aramaic alphabet. Meanwhile, Arabic features such as whb ("gave") and tgr "merchant" entered the language, with whb becoming especially common in proper names.
   Biblically, "Edom" is an alternate name of Esau, a descendant of Eber through Abraham, and the Edomites are regarded as being a Hebrew people, as are the Moabites and Ammonites.
