Definition

  • Ouargli, or Teggargrent (also Twargrit, Təggəngusit), is a Zenati Berber variety spoken in the oases of Ouargla (Wargrən) and NGoussa (Ingusa) in Algeria. As of 1987, it had no more than 10,000 speakers; the Ethnologue estimated only 5,000 speakers as of 1995. There are some differences between the dialects of Ouargla (Təggargrənt) and NGoussa (Təggəngusit), notably in the position of pronominal clitics; within Ouargla, there are minor differences between the three tribes At-Brahim, At-Sisin and At-Waggin.
