Razihi (Rāziḥī), originally known to linguists as "Naẓīri", is a South Semitic language spoken by at least 62,900 people in the vicinity of Mount Razih (Jabal Razih) in the far northwestern corner of Yemen. Along with Faifi and Rijal Alma, it is possibly the only surviving descendant of the Old South Arabian languages.
