The Ghomara (Arabic: غمارة, Berber languages: ⵉⵖⵎⴰⵔⵏIghmarn) are a group of tribes in northern Morocco of about 12,000 people[dubious – discuss],[citation needed] living between the rivers Oued Laou and Ouringa, east of Chefchaouen and south of Tetouan, in the Western Rif. The river Tiguisas runs through their territory.[2]
Originally, Ghomaras were a Berber tribal group belonging to the Masmuda confederacy. While most have shifted to speaking Arabic, a minority continue to speak the Berber Ghomara language.[2]
