Yemeni people also believe that happy country and smiling makes them happy and feel good. Nearly everything is acceptable to the Yemeni people. Objections and conflict are avoided at all costs. Moreover, Yemeni people are known for their hospitality towards visitors. Yemeni attitude makes the people easy-going and adjustable. Frequently, one can find people of varied religious beliefs socializing happily together. Since Yemen is blessed with a wealth of culture and traditions, it stands out in the Southeast Asian region as a country of grace and pride. Therefore, in terms of human resource development, the nation has realized well, the challenges of globalization, and thus highly values international collaborative relationships.(5) Most of the populations of Yemen consist of Muslims; less than 500 Jews (a fraction of the former population) also live in the northern part of the country, there are also small groups of Hindus and Christians. Islam is the religion of the state. Share's is the source of legislation. Yemen is very rich in its culture and civilization in many of historical stages.

The number of people who can speak English in Yemen is small compared to other Arab countries.

France) [email protected] INTRODUCTION In the South of the Arabian Peninsula in the Sultanate of Oman and in the Republic of the Yemen, live about 200,000 Arabs whose maternal tongue is not Arabic but one of the six so- 1 called Modern South Arabian Languages (= MSAL). Mehri, Harsusi [ħarsūsi], Bathari 2 [baṭħari], Hobyot [hōbyyt], Jibbali [ǧibbāli], and SoqoTri [sḳʌ́ṭri]. Only Mehri and Hobyot are spoken in the two countries. Except Soqotri spoken only in the Yemenite islands of Soqoṭra, ‘Abd-el-Kūri and Samħa, all others are spoken in Oman. The six MSAL within the Afro-Asiatic family belong, like Arabic, to the Western Semitic group. More precisely they are included in the Western Southern Semitic sub-group.

  • 1 Jerome Jacobsen Mahtomedi High School Mahtomedi, MN Yemen
    Jerome Jacobsen Mahtomedi High School Mahtomedi, MN Yemen, Factor 2 Global Cooperative to Build Water Infrastructure in Yemen “Under a staircase, clinging to a wall of Sana'a's Grand Mosque, groups of women and children lug plastic canisters to the leaky spigots of a public fountain. Small children struggle with canisters as they weave slowly between the fountain and the pushcarts used to wheel the water back home (Time).” Whether in cities or rural villages throughout Yemen, this is how millions of Yemenis obtain their water supply. In a country where water is almost never available, free public fountains are the only option for most, as very few can afford to pay the sky-high price for water. Water scarcity is becoming a chronic and debilitating problem for all of Yemen. On average, each Yemeni has access to a mere 140 cubic meters of water per year for all of their needs. This is less than fifteen percent of the Middle East water access average (Time). The threat of Yemen running dry grows nearer and nearer with every passing day. Streams and aquifers are growing shallower. The water table has fallen far below sustainable levels. The capital city, Sana’a’s water table was thirty meters below the surface in the late 1970s; it has now fallen to below 1,200 meters below the surface in some areas (Time). Experts estimate that Yemenis are using water that fell to the earth over 8,000 years ago. Making the situation worse is the exploding population of Yemen. Sana’a has the fastest growing population of any capital city, growing at seven percent a year.

  • Pre-Islamic Arabia 1 Pre-Islamic Arabia
    Pre-Islamic Arabia 1 Pre-Islamic Arabia Pre-Islamic Arabia refers to the Arabic civilization which existed in the Arabian Plate before the rise of Islam in the 630s. The study of Pre-Islamic Arabia is important to Islamic studies as it provides the context for the development of Islam. Studies The scientific studies of Pre-Islamic Arabs starts with the Arabists of the early 19th century when they managed to decipher epigraphic Old South Arabian (10th century BCE), Ancient North Arabian (6th century BCE) and other writings of pre-Islamic Arabia, so it is no longer limited to the written traditions which are not local due to the lack of surviving Arab historians Nabataean trade routes in Pre-Islamic Arabia accounts of that era, so it is compensated by existing material consists primarily of written sources from other traditions (such as Egyptians, Greeks, Romans, etc.) so it was not known in great detail; From the 3rd century CE, Arabian history becomes more tangible with the rise of the Himyarite Kingdom, and with the appearance of the Qahtanites in the Levant and the gradual assimilation of the Nabataeans by the Qahtanites in the early centuries CE, a pattern of expansion exceeded in the explosive Muslim conquests of the 7th century. So sources of history includes archaeological evidence, foreign accounts and oral traditions later recorded by Islamic scholars especially pre-Islamic poems and al-hadith plus a number of ancient Arab documents that survived to the medieval times and portions of them were cited or recorded. Archaeological exploration in the Arabian Peninsula has been sparse but fruitful, many ancient sites were identified by modern excavations.
