Comments on speakers
Native speakers use their mother tongue for private purposes, in the family circle and with other speakers of the same language; many a speaker uses several MSAL, when these languages are closely related. When in contact with speakers of other MSAL languages, they resort to Arabic, as with Arabic speakers, because intercomprehension is impossible.
Both in Oman and in the Yemen, Arabic is the language used for official intercourse (administration, school, army).
