Tamahaq, also known as Tahaggart Tamahaq or Tamahaq Tahaggart, is the only known Northern Tuareg language, spoken in Algeria, western Libya and northern Niger. It varies little from the Southern Tuareg languages of the Aïr Mountains, Azawagh and Adagh. The differences mostly consist of sound changes, such as Tamahaq instead of Tamajaq or Tamasheq. This language is "one of the sister languages spoken by the inhabitants of many districts of the Atlas range of mountains from Egypt to the Western shores of Morocco, and which are all included in the general term Berber."
