Your salutation to the planet at large is gratefully received. Those people reading your script are feveroushly studying maps in hopes of making a more exact assesment of your location. While they are doing that, let us take a closer examination of your Spanish. Specifically the following which has been dotted with stars.

¿hay alguien personas hablan español y vivir en Oman aquí?

In Spanish...whenever the primary clause introduces uncertainty, doubt, skepticism, denial, cloaks of unreality, etc…the subordinate clause must be in the subjuctive.

I will make a presumpuous assumption that you are asking if there are people here (at this web site) who may or may not speak Spanish and might be living in Oman? Since you don’t really know whether they exist or not…or whether or not they speak Spanish than you need to restructure your subordinate clause by adding the present subjucntive.

For example: ¿Hay personas aquí que hablen español y que vivan en Oman?

For more understanding of how the subjunctive works, you might reference a 501 Spanish Verbs book at a book store near you. Within the introductory pages will be an overview of the specifics that you will find useful.

Good luck, I hope that you find a good Spanish speaking neighboor in Oman

Thanks, feveroushly should be written as feverously .Secondly, as people here are to learn and share knowledge, you may consider Oman as a geography task to expand your knowledge! This would be so easy using google maps or wikipedia. - Caballero_árabe, May 20, 2012
