Awjila (also Aujila, Augila, Aoudjila, Awgila, Awdjila; own name: Jlan n Awilen; in other Berber varieties Tawjilit[2][3]) is a severely endangered (considered "moribund" by Ethnologue)[4] Eastern Berber language spoken in Cyrenaica, Libya,[5] in the Awjila oasis. Due to the political situation in Libya, immediate data on the language has been inaccessible.[6] However, Facebook postings by speakers and younger semi-speakers have provided some recent supplementary data.[7]
