 JLPCA 3(1) - Abderrahman El Aissati: Review of Lafkioui & Merolla (eds.), Contes berbères chaouis de ...
The French presence in Algeria from 1830 to 1962 and in Morocco from 1912 to 1956, and that of the Spaniards in Morocco between 1912 and 1956 were reason enough for different parties, like the military, to investigate the modes of life of the indigenous population, mostly Berber.
The texts are in the Chaoui variety of Berber spoken around the town of Batna, and northeast of Biskra, in the village of T'koukt in Algeria.
The contribution of Lafkioui is a sketch of the phonological and syntactic characteristics of the Chaoui variety, from a cross-dialectal perspective.

The issue of Berber language and identity increased in significance, particularly after the extensive Kabyle protests of 2001 and the near-total boycott of local elections in Kabylie; the government responded with concessions including naming of Tamazight (Berber) as a national language and teaching it in schools.
Algeria's largest and official language, Arabic, is spoken natively in dialectal form ("Darja") by some 80% of the population, and, as in the entire Arab world, used in the Modern Standard Arabic variant in the media and on official occasions.
Language politics and Arabization have partly been a reaction to the fact that 130 years of French colonization had left both the state bureaucracy and much of the educated upper class completely Francophone, as well as being motivated by the Arab nationalism promoted by successive Algerian governments.

Known alternative spellings are "Shawia", "Shawiya", "Tachawit", "Thachawith", "Tachaouith", and "Th'Chèwith", but in the Chaouia language, the leading TH /θ/ sound is often reduced to an H, thus the name is pronounced "H'chawit".

In the older Arabic sources, any Berber language, including the Berber of the Sous, is referred to as lisan al-barbar 'the Berber tongue' or al-lisan al-âjami 'the non-Arabic tongue'.
In recent times, the names tamazigt and al-luga al-amázighiya 'the Berber language' (5) have become popular among modem inte11ectuals of the Sous, but these narnes are not in current use among the common population.
Together with dialects of the Middle Atlas and, possibly, the dialect of the Senhadja du Sraïr of the Rif, Sous Berber forms a subgroup of the Berber branch of the Afro-Asiatic language family.(7) The total number of speakers of aIl Berber languages may be estimated at fifteen million.

There are between 14 and 25 million speakers of Berber languages in North Africa (see population estimation), principally concentrated in Morocco and Algeria but with smaller communities as far east as Egypt and as far south as Burkina Faso.
Their languages, the Berber languages, form a branch of the Afroasiatic linguistic family comprising many closely related varieties, including Kabyle, Tachelhit, and Central Atlas Tamazight, with a total of roughly 14-25 million speakers.
Linguists and population geneticists alike have identified this culture as a probable period for the spread of an Afroasiatic language (ancestral to the modern Berber languages) to the area.

The activists called on the Government to recognize and teach Berber languages; to provide more information about their culture in the press; and to end restrictions on registering Berber names for children.
