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) <https://llacan.cnrs.fr/fichiers/Senelle/SAMLanguages.pdf> |
