Neo-Punic

comparative more Neo-Punic · superlative most Neo-Punic

1. Relating to the Punic language as it existed after the fall of Carthage in 146 BCE.

   The relative isolation of the Punic speech community in Sardinia from the rest of the Punic-speaking world is demonstrated by a monolingual Punic inscription from the late 2ⁿᵈ or early 3ʳᵈ c. CE in Bitia, which still uses the Punic script rather than the Neo-Punic script that had emerged elsewhere.
