Baṭḥari language

Baṭḥari (Arabic: اللغة البطحرية "Baṭḥari language") is a nearly extinct Afro-Asiatic language of Oman,[2] located on the southeast coast facing the Khuriya Muriya Islands (17°40′46″N 55°22′19″E).

Stroomer affirms that it is a dialect of Mehri (p. xii), whereas Simeone-Senelle considers it a separate language.

[8] The most important steps towards a comprehensive descriptive grammar of Bathari language were made by Gasparini (2018).

[9] In addition to the threat of Arabic, Mehri also threatens to replace the Bathari language due to its less prestigious position.

[5] The tribe seems to be dying out with the language also under threat from modern education solely in Arabic.
