- South_Arabia abstract "South Arabia as a general refers to several regions as currently recognized, 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. Anciently there was a South Arabian alphabet, which was borrowed by Ethiopia. South Arabia as generally conceived would include the lands inhabited by peoples partaking of its distinctive traditions and culture, which overlap recently demarcated political boundaries.Yemen or al-yaman means "the south". One etymology derives Yemen from yamin the "right side" as the south is on the right when facing the sunrise; yet this etymology is considered suspect. Another derives Yemen from yumn meaning "felicity" as the region is fertile; indeed the Romans called it Arabia Felix.Three thousand years ago several different state entities occupied the region of South Arabia, e.g., M'ain, Qataban, Hadhramaut, Saba. In these ancient times South Arabia claimed several notable features: the famous dam at Marib, the cosmopolitan incense trade, as well as the legendary Queen of Sheba. Two thousand years ago the Himyarites became the masters of South Arabia, remaining dominant for several centuries. From Ethiopia across Al-Bahr Al-Ahmar came armies of Axum first in the 3rd-4th centuries, then later in the 6th under King Kaleb who established dominion, c. 520. They were displaced by Persian forces of the Sassanid dynasty, c.575, who also arrived by sea. A half-century later, in the year 6 A.H. (628), the region became Muslim.History of South Arabia as History of Yemen:History of Yemen Ancient history of YemenIslamic history of YemenModern history of YemenTimeline of Yemeni historyAncient South Arabia, entities or appellation:M'ain, Qataban, Hadhramaut, Saba (cf., Sana'a)Arabia Felix, Axum, SasanidSouth Arabia, Islamic dynasties:Umayyid 661-750Abbasid 750-897Ziyadid 819-1018Sulaihid 1047-1138Ayyubid 1174-1228Rasulid 1229-1454Tahiride 1454-1526South Arabia, early modern and colonial-era entities:NorthernOttoman Empire (1517-1635)Ottoman Empire (1849-, 1872-1918)SouthernAden cityBritish India (1839-1930)Colony of Aden (1937-1963)RegionalAden Protectorate (1874-1959)Federation of Arab Emirates of the South (1959-1962)Federation of South Arabia (1962-1967)Protectorate of South Arabia (1963-1967)South Arabia in the recent history of independent Yemen:UnifiedRepublic of Yemen (1990-present)NorthernMutawakkilite Kingdom of Yemen (1918-1962)Yemen Arab Republic (1962-1990)SouthernQu'aiti Sultanate (1858-1967)People's Republic of South Yemen (1967-1970)People's Democratic Republic of Yemen (1970-1990)Other articlesYemenite Reunification (1990)North Yemen & South YemenDemocratic Republic of Yemen (1994)Greater YemenSouth Arabia outside of Yemen:Najran, Jizan, 'Asir in Saudi ArabiaDhofar in Oman↑ ↑ ↑ ↑ ↑ ↑ ↑ ↑".
