Hadhramaut^{[note 1]} (Arabic: حَضْرَمَوْتُ, romanized: Ḥaḍramawt, /ˌhɑ.drəˈmɔ(ː)t/ ^ⓘ; Hadrami Arabic: حَضْرَمُوتُ, Ḥaḍramūt) is a geographic region in southern part of Arabian Peninsula encompassing mainly of the governorates of Hadhramaut, Shabwa, and al-Mahra in Yemen. It sometimes includes Aden, Abyan, and Lahij governorates in Yemen, Dhofar in south-western Oman and Sharurah in southern Saudi Arabia. The name is of ancient origin, and is retained in the name of the Yemeni Governorate of Hadhramaut. The people of Hadhramaut are called the Hadharem. They formerly spoke Hadramautic, an old South Arabian language, but they now predominantly speak Hadhrami Arabic.
