How does one spell or say the adjective for Yemen in English? I guess I would say "yamanEE" with the emphasis on the last syllable in capital letters, approximating the name Al Yaman, which indeed is the name of the country: al jumhuurEEyatu'l yamanEEya, the Republic of Yemen.
Mostly I hear Yemenee with the emphasis on the first syllable and a short "e" sound: YE - me - nee.
The only word that should follow YE-me-nee is another YE-me-nee, giving us YEmenee, YEmeneee, ...and that's all folks.
