Zenati Berber language of east-central Morocco
Ait Seghrouchen Berber , or Seghroucheni (Seghrusheni), is a Zenati Berber language of the Eastern Middle Atlas Berber cluster. It is spoken by the Ait Seghrouchen tribe inhabiting east-central Morocco .
Classification
[ edit ]
Ait Seghrouchen Berber is commonly classed as Central Atlas Tamazight . It is reported to be mutually intelligible with the neighbouring Berber dialect of Ait Ayache.[1] Zenati subgroup of Northern Berber , rather than to the Atlas subgroup to which the rest of Central Atlas Tamazight belongs,[2] [3]
Ait Seghrouchen is part of the Eastern Middle Atlas Berber cluster of Zenati dialects, which is spoken in the eastern Middle Atlas .
Phonology
[ edit ]
Consonants
[ edit ]
Ayt Seghrouchen is notable for having the lateral fricative [ɬ] as an allophone of the sequence /lt/ .[4] Ayt Ayache dialect in which they are fricatives.[5]
In the table below, when consonants appear in pairs, the one on the left is voiceless.
^ /t/ is aspirated [tʰ] [7]
^ for a small number of speakers, /b/ is sometimes lenited to [β] [7]
^ realization of the sequence /lt/ for some speakers, e.g. ultma 'sister', altu 'not yet'
^ Abdel-Massih refers to this as a "flap" produced with "vibration" of the tongue.
Vowels
[ edit ]
Ait Seghrouchen Berber has a typical phonemic three-vowel system , similarly to Classical Arabic :
These phonemes have numerous allophones, conditioned by the following environments:
(# denotes word boundary, X denotes C[−flat −/χ/ −/ʁ/ ] , C̣ denotes C[+flat] , G denotes C, /χ/ , and /ʁ/ )
