Gurara (Gourara) is the Zenati Berber language of the Gourara (Tigurarin) region, an archipelago of oases surrounding Timimoun
in southwestern Algeria. Ethnologue gives it the generic name Taznatit '(Zenati'), along with Tuwat to its south; however,
Blench (2006) classifies Gurara as a dialect of Mzab–Wargla, and Tuwat as a dialect of the Riff cluster. Gurara is the only
Berber language to change r in certain coda positions to a laryngeal ħ; in other contexts it drops r, turning a preceding
schwa into a. There is inconclusive evidence for Songhay influence on Gurara. The local tradition of ahellil poetry and music
in Gurara, described in Mouloud Mammeri's L'Ahellil du Gourara, has been listed as part of the Intangible Cultural Heritage
of Humanity by UNESCO. |
