Eastern Berber languages


The Eastern Berber languages are a group of Berber languages spoken in Libya and Egypt. They include Awjila, Sokna and Fezzan, Siwi and Ghadamès, though it is not clear that they form a valid genealogical group.
Eastern Berber is generally considered as part of the Zenatic Berber supergroup of Northern Berber.

Classification

divides them into two groups:
Blench lists the following as separate languages, with dialects in parentheses; like Ethnologue, he classifies Nafusi as Eastern Zenati.
The "Lingvarium Project" cites two additional languages: the extinct language of Jaghbub and the still-spoken Berber language of Tmessa, an oasis located in the north of the Murzuq District. Blažek considers the language spoken in Tmessa as a dialect of Fezzan.
