 Kossmann's "Northern Saharan oasis" dialects | |
The Mzab–Wargla languages or Northern Saharan oasis dialects are a dialect cluster of the Zenati languages, within the Northern Berber subbranch. They are spoken in scattered oases of Algeria and Morocco.
Subclassification
- Kossmann (2013)
Marteen Kossmann (2013) listed six "Northern Saharan oasis" dialects:[2]
- Ethnologue (2009)
In Ethnologue XVI (2009), the "Mzab–Wargla" languages are listed as:
- Tagargrent (Wargli)
- Temacine Tamazight (Tugurt)
- Taznatit ("Zenati": Gurara, Tuwat and South Oran)
- Tumzabt (Mozabite)
Unlike Kossmann, Ethnologue considers the Berber dialect spoken in Tidikelt as a separate branch of the Zenati group, distinct from Tuwat.
- Blench & Dendo (2006)
Roger Blench and Mallam Dendo (2006) listed eight varieties:[3]
However, Senhaja is actually an Atlas language.
