The oldest attestations of Tefrian are sparce inscriptions in [[w:Ancient South Arabian script|Old South Arabian]] and [[w:Old Persian cuneiform|Persian Cuneiform]] dated to the 8th century BC. Most of these inscriptions are of names or short prayers. | Old Tefrian is thought to have began diverging from Proto-West Asisic during the 10th century BC, vaguely corresponding with the migration of Iranic groups into Modern-Day Persia.
