The period between 300 and 800 CE saw some of the most dramatic social and political changes in South Arabia. It witnessed both the political unification of South Arabia and its invasion and subjugation by foreign powers, the gradual displacement of polytheism by Judaism and Christianity, as well its annexation into the burgeoning Islamic polity. Similarly, the languages of the ancient inscriptions – known collectively as “Ancient South Arabian” – came to be replaced by Arabic.
Although it is often assumed that the Arabization of South Arabia occurred after the coming of Islam, the evidence indicates that this process began several centuries earlier. By comparing some of the earliest South Arabian inscriptions containing Arabic influences, comments by medieval Islamic scholars, as well as descriptions of the Arabic dialects spoken in Yemen today, we can propose a more accurate chronology of the Arabization of South Arabia.
