Tamahaq: Aïr...
"Tamahaq, Tamachek, Tuareg, or Amazigh, is spoken by more
than 250,000 Berber nomads scattered throughout the arid
Saharan wastes of Mali, Niger, and Algeria.   Numerous dialectal
variations are noted, the Aïr usage being common to the upland
areas around Agades, Niger.   The Tamahaq still use the Tifinagh
(meaning ‘characters’) script, which is a development of the
Old Libyan writing, attested by numerous inscriptions of the
Roman Period.   However, the precise origin of this consonantal
alphabet is in doubt.   A Berber tongue, Tamahaq is related to
Kabyle, Shilha, Zenaga, Khbala, and other tongues of north
Africa."
