Minaean language

The main area of its use may be located in the al-Jawf region of North-East Yemen, primarily in the Wādī Madhāb.

Most of texts in this language were composed by the Minaeans, but the other civil-temple communities of the Wādī Madhāb (Nashshan, Kaminahu, Ḥaram, and Inabba') also used it as a literary medium.

Whereas Sabaean uses the preposition l- to mean "to(wards)", or to express the dative case, Minaean often has k- (compare Ḥaḑramitic h-).

Minaean is distinguished from the other Old South Arabian languages by having an extra form for verb stems with a reduplicated second radical, spelled fˁˁl (as in ˁlly, "raise"[4]).

Minaean, like the other South Arabian languages, forms the perfect tense by adding suffixes.
