Tugurt language

Tugurt, also known as Oued Righ Berber and Temacine Tamazight, is a Zenati Berber variety spoken in some of the oases of the northeastern Oued Righ region around Touggourt in Algeria. As of 1893, its main speech area was in Temacine, Blidet-Amor, Meggarine and Ghomra.[3] It is closely related to the nearby Tumzabt (Mozabite) and Teggargrent (Ouargli) languages.
