Yemen: South Arabian limestone perfume-burner decorated with a bas-relief ibex, 1st-3rd century CE. South Arabia as a general term refers to several regions as currently recognised, in chief the Republic of Yemen; yet it has historically also included Najran, Jizan, and 'Asir which are presently in Saudi Arabia, and Dhofar presently in Oman. 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.
