Hadhrami Arabic

Hadhrami Arabic (Arabic: اللهجة الحضرمية, romanized: al-Lahjah al-Ḥaḍramiyah) is a variety of Arabic spoken by the Hadharem living in the region of Hadhramaut in southeastern Yemen. It is also spoken by many emigrants, who migrated from Hadhramaut to the Horn of Africa (Somalia and Eritrea), East Africa (Comoros, Zanzibar, Kenya, Tanzania, and Mozambique), Southeast Asia (Indonesia, Malaysia, Brunei and Singapore) and, recently, to the other Arab states of the Persian Gulf.

Hadhrami Arabic is also the main element language that forms a local variety of Arabic in Indonesia. This variety was eventually referred to as Indonesian Arabic, where most of the vocabulary and grammar are absorbed from here.
