[[Old Nubian language|Old Nubian]] is preserved in at least a hundred pages of documents, mostly of a [[Christianity|Christian]] religious nature, written with a [[uncial]] variety of the [[Greek alphabet]], extended with three [[Coptic alphabet|Coptic]] letters and three unique to Old Nubian, apparently derived from [[Meroitic script|Meroitic]]. These documents range in date from the [[8th century|8th]] to the [[15th century]] [[Anno Domini|A.D.]]. Old Nubian is currently considered ancestral to modern Nobiin.
==Orthography==
There are three currently active proposals for the script of Nubian: [[Arabic alphabet]], [[Latin alphabet]], and [[Old Nubian alphabet]]. Since the 1950's, Latin has been used by 4 authors, Arabic by 2, and Old Nubian by 1, in the publication of various books of proverbs, dictionaries, and textbooks. For Arabic, the extended [[SESCO]] system may be used to indicate vowels and consonants not found in Arabic itself.
