Mzab–Wargla languages

Subclassification

Kossmann (2013)

Maarten Kossmann (2013) listed six "Northern Saharan oasis" dialects:

• South Oranie and Figuig
• Gurara
• Tuwat-Tidikelt
• Mzab
• Wargla
• Wad Righ (Tugurt)

Ethnologue (2009)

In Ethnologue XVI (2009), the "Mzab–Wargla" languages are listed as:

• Tagargrent (Wargli)
• Temacine Tamazight (Tugurt)
• Taznatit ("Zenati": Gurara, Tuwat and South Oran)
• Tumzabt (Mozabite)

Unlike Kossmann, Ethnologue considers the Berber dialect spoken in Tidikelt as a separate branch of the Zenati group, distinct from Tuwat.

Blench

Roger Blench (2006) listed eight varieties:

• Gurara
• Mzab, Ghardaia (Mozabite)
• Wargla
• Tugurt
• Seghrušen
• Figuig
• Senhaja
• Iznacen

However, Senhaja is actually an Atlas language.
