Ethnolinguistic Analysis of the Tamazight Language: Conversation w/ Najlae


Listen Later

This episode covers an ethnolinguistic analysis of the Tamazight language with Najlae, an AUI student from Khenifra, located in the Atlas Mountains, whom frequently migrates to France. Najlae is a Amazigh student studying at Al Akhawayn University with a focus in Business Administration. We explore the historical context of multilingualism in Morocco and its influence on the Amazigh culture with Najlae. Tamazight (i.e. Berber) indigenous languages are spoken by the inhabitants of Morocco and other parts of North Afraka before the Arab invasion. The Tamazight languages are considered to belong to the Hamito-Semitic group of languages. There are differing dialects of the Tamazight language including: Tashleheit is spoken in the south-west of Morocco, Ifni to the area of Agadir, Tamazight is spoken in an area of the Atlas mountains, stretching as far east as Taza; and the largest homogeneous group of Berber speakers is located in the north, in the Rif mountains, from which the Tarifit dialect gets its name. In this podcast, we focus on the Tamazight language and the complexity of language in Morocco.
