Hadhramaut^{[note 1]} (Arabic: حَضْرَمَوْت, romanized: Ḥaḍramawt, /ˌhɑːdrəˈmɔːt/ ^ⓘ HAH-drə-MAWT; Hadrami Arabic: حَضْرَمُوت, Ḥaḍramūt) is a geographic region in the southern part of the Arabian Peninsula which includes the Yemeni governorates of Hadhramaut, Shabwa and Mahra, Dhofar in southwestern Oman, and Sharurah in the Najran Province of Saudi Arabia, as well as the Aden, Abyan and Lahij governorates of Yemen at a more stretched historical definition. The name is of ancient origin and is reflected in the name of the modern-day 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 the Hadhrami dialect of Arabic.
