Shilha: Central...
"Shilha is a Berber language spoken in several dialects throughout
southern Morocco.   Most Shilha men are bilingual in Arabic and
their mother tongue.   Shilha is, indeed, a ‘mother’ tongue, for it
is taught to the children by their mothers, who, according to
tradition, remain in seclusion and do not usually learn Arabic."
