Yemenis

Uncommon card · No. 180023

Yemenis or Yemenites (Arabic: يمنيون) are an Arab ethnic group native to Yemen. The majority speak varieties of Yemeni Arabic, while several Modern South Arabian languages, including Mehri, Socotri and Hobyot, are also spoken. Yemeni society has historically included strong tribal and regional identities, with tribes continuing to play an important social role. Yemenis are predominantly Muslims, while Yemen historically also had a significant Jewish community. A substantial Yemeni diaspora exists outside Yemen, particularly in other parts of the Arabian Peninsula, as well as in Africa, Asia, Europe and North America. The Yemeni civil war has resulted in displacement within Yemen and migration to neighboring countries, including countries in the Horn of Africa.
