The Atlas languages are a subgroup of the Northern Berber languages of the Afro-Asiatic language family spoken in the Atlas Mountains of Morocco. By mutual intelligibility, they are a single language spoken by perhaps 14 million people; however, they are distinct sociolinguistically and are considered separate languages by the Royal institute of the Amazigh culture. They are:[2][1]

  • Central Atlas Tamazight (Central Atlas Berber), spoken in the central Atlas Mountains
  • Shilha (Tashelhiyt; also rendered Tachelhit, Tasusit; includes Judeo-Berber and perhaps the extinct Lisan al-Gharbi), spoken in southern Morocco
  • Sanhaja de Srair, spoken in the southern part of the Rif
  • Ghomara, spoken in the western part of the Rif
  • Lisan al-Gharbi, formerly spoken in western Morocco.
