It is true that Harsusi with the spread of school education and modern civilizational progress – which are good indeed – is under pressure. This language of oral non-written MSA languages is a language of countries folklore and daily speach – like any local Arabic dialect. But it is a Semitic non-Arabic language sure.
There are some Harsusi as well as some other Modern South Arabian languages MP3 examples at SemArch website of Heidelberg University in Germany.
