South Arabian languages. Yemen is together with Oman, the home region of South Arabian languages; there are 6 such languages still alive tday. In Yemen there are two major South Arabian languages: Mehri; and Socotri. The third language of some size, Shehri, is not listed among spoken languages in Yemen. Mehri is spoken by the Mahra people. Socotri is the language of Socotra, but the natives to Socotra are not distinguished as a separate native group.
Swahili is spoken here: Swahili was originally spoken along the coast of Tanzania and Kenya. Traders from the coast spread the language to the nearby islands, and then traders from those islands spread the deeper into the continent. When foreign traders from the Middle East arrived to the coast (mostly Omani Arabs), Swahili absorbed a lot of Arabic words.
