AfD Result

This article was the subject of an AfD in November, 2005. The result was strong consensus Keep as rewritten. Xoloz 15:39, 12 November 2005 (UTC)

New article on Temporary Page.

I don't see any trace of a copyvio at the alleged source, so have reverted the tag. The article on the /Temp subpaeg was identical to the main article, so I will delete it. -Splash^talk 19:01, 8 October 2005 (UTC)

Sorry, I got confused by the inplace rewrite being the smae as the /Temp version. I've removed the infringing revisions from the main article's history, and left the /Temp page deleted. -Splash^talk 19:04, 8 October 2005 (UTC)

References?

I've got some serious doubts on the reliability of this article. Never heard of link between Yemen and Berbers, but this assertion:

The written language of Sheba was found in Oklahoma, Mexico, Peru, Bolivia, and Brazil. Most notable of these is at a site in Colorado, near La Junta, and has been dated to before 800 BC.

is frankly unbelievable. GhePeU 17:06, 25 October 2005 (UTC)

Is this article a joke? Seriously, is it? D.E. Cottrell 18:12, 2 November 2005 (UTC)

False from the start

Mahri language is a semitic language with no link to Armenian or any other indo-european language. Further, there was no such thing as an Armenian rule of Yemen!!!!

Real language

But the original article was junk. Anybody who wants to expand the stub might want to start researching here: http://semitistik.uni-hd.de/sima/english/yemen_e/index_e.htm

Mehri is Akkadian dialect

the Akkadian language is the only language from Semitic languages devoid from (Ayin letter) same thing with Mahri language..and in the Akkadian language the (He letter) replaced by voice (Shin letter) same thing with Mahri language... I find the Different between Akkadian language and Mahri like Different between two arabic dialects —Preceding unsigned comment added by 79.139.192.222 (talk) 09:36, 31 January 2008 (UTC)

No reputable Semiticist would link Akkadian and a Modern South Arabian language. (Taivo (talk) 21:13, 9 March 2008 (UTC))

Some Words from Mehri

It's a little weird that all three words in the "some words from Mehri" are Arabic. I'm sure there's a lot of crossover between the languages since Mehri exists in an Arabized environment, but shouldn't we pick Mehri words that don't come from Arabic for examples?
