Razihi (Rāziḥī), originally known to linguists as "Naẓīri",[2] is a Central Semitic language spoken by at least 62,900 people in the vicinity of Mount Razih (Jabal Razih) in the far northwestern corner of Yemen.[3] Along with Faifi, it is possibly the only surviving descendant of the Old South Arabian languages.[4]
