The taxa are the followings scripts or script variants: Old_Aramaic Arabic_early Arabic_Kufic Arabic_Naskh Arabic_Mauritanian Arabic_African Arabic_modern Imperial_Aramaic Nabataean Palmyrene Syriac_Estrangela and Syriac_Nestoria.
The examined taxa features are extracted based on the collections of similar features of the script variants. These collections are called Similarity Features Groups (SFGs), and the purpose of their construction is to avoid the random coincidence of evolutionary unrelated but similar features (Hosszú, 2017: 182; Hosszú, 2023).
