<p dir="ltr">For the first time in the history of Semitic studies, this volume is devoted entirely to Modern South Arabian (MSA) as a unified linguistic and cultural entity. The three principal regions inhabited by MSA speakers—Mahra and Dhofar on the Arabian mainland, and the island of Soqotra—are comprehensively represented. The contributions span a broad thematic range, including cultural history, field sociology, and, above all, linguistics (both synchronic and diachronic), alongside the rich oral traditions of MSA-speaking communities.</p>
