This study aimed at investigating the language situation among the Indians of Yemen.
The theoretical framework of the current study was based on Fishman (1989) and Sridhar (1992).
In order to achieve the objective of the study, the researcher posed five questions concerning the background of the Indians of Yemen, their proficiency in both languages, domains of use for each language, their attitudes towards each language and the factors that helped them maintain or lose the Indian native languages.
This study was conducted on the Indians of Yemen, i.e.
the people of Yemen who descended from Indian origins living in the city of Aden.
The sample was selected purposively and it included 86 participants who responded to a six-section language questionnaire.
The language questionnaire was originally delivered to 100 participants.
However, only 86 forms were filled out and returned.
The language questionnaire was validated by a panel of experts in the fields of applied linguistics and sociolinguistics.
The reliability of the questionnaire was obtained via calculating Cronbach's alpha.
Results showed that although the Indians have settled in Aden for over 170 years, some of them still maintain the Indian ethnic languages.
Results also showed that the Indians have good command in the Indian native language skills, especially speaking and listening.
In addition, there is a strong relationship between language maintenance and non-linguistic factors like the family and home.
In addition, the researcher suggested several ideas for future research like conducting similar studies on other ethnic groups in Yemen such as Jews, Persians and Somalis.
