Shihhi Arabic

Shihhi Arabic (Arabic: اللهجة الشحية, romanized: Al-Lahjah Al-Shihhiyya, also known as Shehhi, Khasabi, Musandam Arabic, or Ruʾus Al Jibal Arabic) is a dialect of Arabic primarily used in the Musandam Governorate of Oman and the Ras Al Khaimah emirate of the United Arab Emirates. It has been suggested that Shihhi Arabic has two main dialect groups, known as "inland" and "coastal". The Shihuh, Habus, Al Dhuhoori and Al Shemaili tribes have traditionally used the dialect.
