  The Coffees of Yemen
Lastly, let me say that Yemeni are one of the most distinct and prized coffees in the world, but this is what we call a "wild" or natural cup...Earthy, complex, pungent ---to some it may be strange and bitter.
Yemeni growers are not hurt by this system with so many middlemen, largely because the coffee land under cultivation is limited and the crop is in such high demand.
Some Yemeni coffees are very small in screen size, which might cause problems in the Alpenrost.

  Yemeni Arabic - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Yemeni Arabic is the variety of Arabic spoken in Yemen.
Yemeni Arabic can be divided roughly into several main dialect groups, each with its own distinctive vocabulary and phonology.
The San'ani dialect is distinguished among Yemeni dialects by its use of the hard [G] sound in the place of the classical Arabic [Qāf], as well as its preservation of the classical Arabic palatial pronunciation of [J] for the Arabic letter [Jīm].

 Arabic language - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Arabic language (Arabic: اللغة العربية‎ ​ translit: al-lughah al-‘Arabīyyah), or simply Arabic (Arabic: عربي‎ ​ translit: ‘Arabī), is the largest member of the Semitic branch of the Afro-Asiatic language family (classification: South Central Semitic) and is closely related to Hebrew and Aramaic.
Arabic has been a literary language since at least the 6th century and is the liturgical language of Islam.
Since the written Arabic of today differs from the written Arabic of the Qur'anic era, it has become customary in western scholarship and among non-Arab scholars of Arabic to refer to the language of the Qur'an as Classical Arabic and the modern language of the media and of formal speech as Modern Standard Arabic.
