South Arabia

South Arabia is a historical region that consists of the southern region of the Arabian Peninsula, mainly centered in what is now the Republic of Yemen, yet it has historically also included Najran, Jizan, and 'Asir which are presently in Saudi Arabia, and the Dhofar of present-day Oman.
South Arabia is inhabited by peoples partaking distinctive linguistic and ethnic affinities, as well as traditions and culture, transcending recent political boundaries. This is the historical region of Qahtanite.
==Language and etymology==
The frontiers of South Arabia as linguistically conceived would include the historic peoples speaking the related South Arabian languages as well as neighboring dialects of Arabic, and their descendants. Anciently there was a South Arabian alphabet, which was borrowed by Ethiopia.
Yemen or ''al-Yaman'' means "the right side". One etymology derives Yemen from ''yamin'' the "right side" as the south is on the right when facing the sunrise; yet this etymology is considered suspect. Another derives Yemen from ''yumn'' meaning "felicity" as the region is fertile; indeed the Romans called it Arabia Felix.〔Mackintosh-Smith, ''Yemen'' (London: John Murray 1997) at 8.〕
