Bilingual inscriptions
Bilingual inscriptions are written texts that feature the same message presented in two different languages, often side by side or interwoven. They are important for facilitating communication between diverse linguistic groups, for scholarly study of languages, and sometimes for diplomatic or cultural reasons. These inscriptions help historians and linguists understand linguistic relationships, translation practices, and cultural interactions of the past. Examples include ancient stone carvings or modern official signs that promote inclusivity and accessibility across language barriers.
