	Guardian's Ancient Egypt Discussion Board: Development of "standard meaning of hieroglyphs"
		Tamasheq is the language spoken by some 1 million to 2 million Berber speakers of Mali, Niger, Burkina-Faso, Algeria and Libya, with a few in Mauretania and Morocco.
		Thus, although Tamasheq speakers are mainly found in sub-Saharan Africa, the language is not at all related to the neighboring sub-Saharan African languages.
		Tamasheq does not have a definite article and forms the genitive by use of the preposition "n," two additional characteristics in common with Egyptian...

	Rüdiger Köppe Publishers, Cologne - The Tamasheq of North-East Burkina Faso, ISBN: 978-3-89645-380-8
		Tamasheq is the language spoken by the Tamasheq people, descendants of Berber traders and warriors who traversed the Sahara and settled along the routes and the lands beyond, and the fl African peoples enslaved by these raiding warriors.
		Among the Berber languages Tamasheq represents presumably the language still the least influenced by contact with Arabic or other languages, although most of the Tamasheq people today are at least bilingual.
		This grammar focuses on the two Tamasheq dialects spoken in North-East Burkina Faso, which are very similar to the Tamasheq dialects found in Mali.

	'That Desert is Our Country'
		The Kel Tamasheq attitude towards their incorporation within the new state was, in the eyes of the Malian political elite, as threatening as before independence.
		While the Keita regime perceived the Kel Tamasheq as white, anarchist, feudal, lazy, pro-slavery nomads who needed to be civilised, the Kel Tamasheq elite saw the Malian politicians as fl, incompetent, untrustworthy slaves in disguise who came to usurp power.
		Thus, all white Tamasheq are perceived to be noble, which they are not, and all fl Kel Tamasheq are seen as of lower status which, again, is not the case, not even when one sees race in Tamasheq society as purely socially constructed.

		The Tamasheq (Tuaregs,” in Mali), recognizable here by their immaculate white tunics, are only one of eleven ethnic groups in the country.
		It is estimated that 10,000 civilians were killed between 1990 and 1996 by the armies of Mali and neighboring Niger.
		In March 2002, Mali celebrated the sixth anniversary of the reintegration of the Tamasheq; however, this does not change the fact that the only Tuareg country” is still the immense desert of the Sahara, which is cut up into eleven pieces by state borders.

		The language is called Tamasheq by western Tuareg, Mail, Tamahaq among Algerian and Libyan Tuareg and Tamajaq in Azawagh and Ayr regions, Niger.
		The Tuareg are a Berber group, and are closely related to both West Africans and North African Berbers, in terms of culture and race.
		At least some sources argue that the Tuareg are defined by language, not ethnicity, and that predominantly Middle Eastern and/or Black African Tamasheq speakers qualify as "Tuareg" (and, presumably, by implication, individuals of Tuareg descent but who have assimilated into various countries and do not speak Tamasheq languages do not).

		But the chap I was with (let's call him Bill - he does not want his name online) has been working amongst the Tamacheq for years and has just finished his translation of the new testament.

		However, in Mali and Niger, there are a few schools that teach partially in Tamasheq.
		It is estimated that there are between 14 and 25 million speakers of Berber languages, but exact numbers are difficult to ascertain, since most Maghreb countries do not record language data in their censuses, and many people who speak these languages are hard-to-reach nomads.
		The Arabic alphabet is used for all Berber languages, except Tamazight and Tamasheq which continue to use an ancient Berber alphabet known as Tifinagh.
