 * ... that the Solluba are considered remnants of pre-Semitic peoples that once dominated Arabia?




 * Symbol question.svg New, more than 1,500 characters, well-sourced. Really interesting article. Will be happy to approve, if you can tell me which source exactly supports the hook statement that they "once dominated Arabia".
 * And also, is anything known about them since after WWI or nobody has mentioned them since then?-- Ե րևանցի ասելիք կա՞  04:06, 8 November 2012 (UTC)


 * Info is taken from Roger Blench's The Semiticisation of the Arabian Peninsula and the problem of its reflection in the archaeological record. It is well established that Palaeolithics were already in Arabia since 100,000 BP, Semites on the other hand did not appear until 5,000 ago.
 * They were already near extinct by the WW2, EOI mentions that they were mostly assimilated by other tribes. I did some deep googling in Arabic and all I found is some "Sulaibi" try to refute claims of not being Arabs, pretty much proofs the total assimilation conclusion.--  R a f y  talk 11:06, 8 November 2012 (UTC)
