 Tarifit
Tarifits most noticeable differences from other Berber languages are that:
Also, the initial masculin a- prefix gets dropped in certain words, like afus (hand) becomes fus, and afighar (snake) becomes fighar.
This change, characteristic of Zenati Berber varieties, further distances Tarifit from neighbouring dialects such as Atlas-Tamazight and Tashelhiyt.

 A Tarifit Berber-English Dictionary: Documenting an Endangered Language   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-13)
“Compiling this dictionary of Tarifit Berber (spoken in Morocco) … requires a high level of expertise and experience, and McClelland is the perfect one to have carried out the task, having spent a number of years studying the language.
In addition to his lexical investigations as presented here, he analyzed the phonology of the language and developed a roman-based orthography to go along with the traditional writing system, and he subsequently wrote his doctoral dissertation on the structure of the language (McClelland 1996, published in revised form as McClelland 2000).
Clearly, this is a compilation based upon solid fieldwork … with around a million speakers, Tarifit Berber is not an endangered language – there will undoubtedly be speakers of this language for years to come – but it is not a language whose lexical structures are well documented either.

The linguistic situation of the Moroccan children in Germany can be described as follows: they learn the official language of the host country at school, while their home language (mostly Tarifit Berber, but also Moroccan Arabic) is restricted in its scope to their family and the networks of their own community.
Again, the spontaneous writing of the vernacular languages of Tarifit Berber and Moroccan Arabic was in focus.
Although all 114 children (with only one outlier, writing Tarifit Berber in Latin script) opted spontaneously for Arabic script, a wide range of differences could be observed with respect to the application of orthographic rules of Standard Arabic.

Liberty University Professor of English and Linguistics, Dr. Clive McClelland, recently published a Tarifit Berber dictionary, a language spoken in the country of Morocco.
According to The Edwin Mellen Press, said the dictionary “provides a bit of a window on the Tarifit worldview as represented in its patterns of lexical organization and thus furthers our understanding of the variety of human culture.
Equally important, there is the possibility that it will make an important contribution also to the speakers themselves.” The Edwin Mellen Press publish scholarly works by professors at universities who hold Ph.D. degrees in their field.

 Abstract   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-13)
Tamazight, Taqbaylit, Chaoui and Tarifit in this respect are similar to French, which employs two negation elements ne and pas.
Touareg (a Berber variety spoken in Mali, and parts of Niger), and Tachlhit (a dialect spoken in the south of Morocco), are the only Berber dialects, that I know of so far, which use only one negation element, as illustrated in (9) and (10) respectively.
Taqbaylit (6), Chaoui (7) and Tarifit (8), on the other hand, allow Neg2 to occur post-verbally only.
