Eastern Berber languages
The Eastern Berber languages are a group of Berber languages spoken in Libya and Egypt. They include the Awjila, Sokna, Fezzan (El-Fogaha), Siwi, and Ghadamès languages, though it is not clear that they form a valid genealogical group.
Kossmann (1999:29, 33) divides them into two groups:
Blench (ms, 2006) lists the following as separate languages, with dialects in parentheses; like Ethnologue, he classifies Nafusi as Eastern Zenati.
The "Lingvarium Project" (2005) cites two additional languages, both located in Libya: the extinct language of Jaghbub and the still-spoken Berber language of Tmessa, an oasis located in the north of the Murzuq District. Blažek (1999) considers the language spoken in Tmessa as a dialect of Fezzan.
