Historically, Soqotrans were Nestorian Christians, from the Christianization of the island between the 4th and 6th centuries up until the 15th century, when the island was occupied by the Mehri Sultanate in 1480. This led to the slow Islamisation of the Soqotrans.

Language

The Soqotrans speak the Soqotri language (also known as Saqatri, Socotri, Sokotri and Suqutri).
