Faifi

Faifi is a possible descendant of Ancient South Arabian and is spoken by about 50 000 people in the vicinity of the Fifa Mountains in the southwestern corner of Saudi Arabia and across the border in Jebel Minabbih, Yemen. Along with the Razihi and Rijal Alma languages, it is possibly one of the few surviving descendants of the Sayhadic branch and the Ancient South Arabian languages Hadrami, Minaean, Sabaic and Qatrabanian. Along with Berber, Chadic, Cushitic and Egyptian branches, Arabic and other Semitic languages belong to the Afro-Asiatic language family, constituting the fourth-largest language family after Indo-European, Sino-Tibetan, and Niger–Congo.
