Midian is believed to have been located in modern-day Saudi Arabia, and the people of Midian likely spoke a Northwest Semitic language. It is likely that Jethro, who is mentioned in The Bible as a priest of Midian and the father-in-law of Moses, would have spoken a dialect or variation of this language.

Jethro, Moses's father-in-law, is traditionally identified as a Midianite priest. The Midianites were descendants of Midian, who was a son of Abraham and Keturah, not Ishmael. While both Ishmael and Midian were descendants of Abraham, they belong to different genealogical lines, so Jethro is not considered a descendant of Ishmael.
