It is spoken by Ishawiyen, the Berbers of Eastern Algeria. Our aim is to provide a free platform for the discussion and dissemination of ideas related to Tashawit. We seek to expose the beauty of shawi words and explore their creative dimensions in poetry, prose and music. We believe that AWAL, the word is the gate of cultural heritage, and that writing is the key to its permanence.shawi yeggumanoreply@blogger.comBlogger410125tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24740631.post-16000428493030597982009-07-15T18:32:00.010-04:002009-07-15T20:38:58.464-04:00

By Lameen souagSource: Jabal al-LughatA few days ago I got lent a copy of a recent book in Arabic by Othmane Saadi: Dictionary of the Arabic Roots of Amazigh (Berber) Words معجم الجذور العربية للكلمات الأمازيغية (البربرية) (Tripoli: Academy of Arabic Language 2007.)

By : Nouri“Chaouia is not a written language and based on the fact that it is not taught in schools, it may soon become extinct. Being that the Chaouia are predominantly rural and secluded, speakers often code-switch to Arabic, French or even English to discuss non-traditional technology and sociological concerns.“Chaouia,” English Wikipedia, as of 24 November, 2008.Is this not true of most
