The Mahri language is a member of the South Arabian branch of the Semitic language family. It is primarily spoken by the Mahra people in the eastern part of Yemen and parts of Oman. Mahri has its own unique script and is known for its rich oral traditions and cultural significance. Mahri is considered a minority language, with a small number of speakers. Efforts are being made to preserve and promote the language, as it faces challenges from dominant languages in the region. The language reflects the history and identity of the Mahra people, making it an important aspect of their heritage.
