Mahri Poetry Archive

The Mahri Poetry Archive contains over sixty recorded recitations and performances of poems and songs in the endangered Mahri language of Yemen and Oman. Each poem is accompanied by a transcription into Latin characters (with lexical notation) and a translation into English. The recordings contained in this archive are broadly representative of the different genres of Mahri oral poetry and originate from across the core Mahri-speaking territory of eastern Yemen and western Oman.
