The current study investigates the words for natural places in the dialects of the Yamani Province of Ḏamār, in a semantic and lexical approach, and comparison with Arabic and other Semitic languages, and in attempt to reveal the origins of these terms in this field. Besides, it aspires to show the extent of similarity or dis-similarity either between the words in the Yemeni dialects or between them and their corresponding terms in Arabic and Semitic languages. Moreover, the study seeks to detect the extent of influence and impact, as well as to try to reveal the ex-tent of influence and impact, as well as the stages of developments in which these words have gone through. In this study, the researcher relied on the descriptive methodology by describing the linguistic usage of the words of places in the study area, and then utilizing the historical methodology to track the usage of these terms. Next, he relied on the comparative approach to track the corresponding terms in Ar-abic and other Semitic languages.
