Le hobyot, langue sémitique (groupe sudarabique moderne), est parlé par quelques milliers de locuteurs dans l'est du Yémen et dans le sud du Sultanat d'Oman. Sans tradition écrite et menacé d'extinction à court terme, le hobyot a été très peu décrit. Cette étude fournit la première description linguistique complète de la langue, sur la base d'une recherche de terrain spécifique. La phonologie est traitée en détail, formant la base d'une transcription rigoureuse. La morphologie (en particulier verbale) a été élicitée de manière exhaustive auprès de locuteurs natifs de la langue. Les principaux outils et structures syntaxiques sont traités sur la base d'un corpus de six textes (transcrits et traduits) et de nombreux énoncés recueillis lors du travail avec les locuteurs. Un lexique hobyot-français clôt l'ouvrage. Les principaux changements linguistiques en cours ont été signalés.
Hobyot, a Semitic language of the Modern South Arabian group, is spoken by a few thousand speakers in eastern Yemen and southern Oman. With no written tradition and facing imminent extinction, it remains one of the least documented languages in the region. This study offers the first comprehensive linguistic description of Hobyot, based on dedicated field research. The phonological system is analysed in depth, providing the foundation for a precise transcription. Morphology, particularly the verbal system, has been thoroughly elicited from native speakers. The study also explores key syntactic structures, drawing on a corpus of six transcribed and translated texts, alongside numerous utterances collected during fieldwork. The book concludes with a Hobyot-French lexicon and highlights ongoing linguistic changes.
