Atlas languages
The Atlas languages are a subgroup of the Northern Berber languages of the Afro-Asiatic language family spoken in the Atlas Mountains of Morocco. By mutual intelligibility, they are a single language spoken by perhaps 14 million people; however, they are distinct sociolinguistically and are considered separate languages by the Royal institute of the Amazigh culture. They are:
- Central Atlas Tamazight, spoken in the central Atlas Mountains
- Shilha, spoken in southern Morocco
- Sanhaja de Srair, spoken in the southern part of the Rif
- Ghomara, spoken in the western part of the Rif
- Lisan al-Gharbi, formerly spoken in western Morocco.
