Simeone-Sinelle, M.-C. The Modern South Arabian languages, 1997, via WWW, Apr. 1, 2021: p. 378 (In the South of the Arabian Peninsula, in the Republic of the Yemen and in the Sultanate of Oman, live some 200,000 Arabs whose maternal language is not Arabic but one of the so-called Modern South Arabian Languages (MSAL); the MSAL are different enough from Arabic to make intercomprehension impossible between speakers of any of the MSAL and Arabic speakers. The MSAL exhibit many common features also with the Semitic languages of Ethiopia; their relationships with Epigraphic South Arabian (Sahaydic Languages, according to Beeston) remain a point of discussion; There are six MSAL: Mehri, Harsūsi, Baṭḥari, Hobyōt, Jibbāli, Soqoṭri)
