#Tunisia has enormous #shale gas reserves, mostly in its part of the #Ghadames basin.
But an archaic legislation and widespread corruption in the #energy field make it impossible to tell if it's beneficial or harmful to its #economy and environment.

Amazigh root : GM

Meaning : to grow up

#Mzab : ǧem

#Ghadames : eǧm

#Tamazight : gem

This word is surprisingly attested in Tetserret but not in Tamajeq which has another word 'ǝdwǝl'

The names of Tuaregs among their Amazigh speakers neighbours

#Ghadames : Lemtayen

Apparently the Amazigh towards Tidekilt also use the word Lemtayen for tuaregs.

The emphasis in ghadames is odd

'stay with us'

#Ghadames : qim ɛurneɛ

#Tamajeq : qam ɣurna

#Tetserret : ɛayyim arank

How these three languages develop such diverse characteristics?

With ghadames I found two interesting words

#Ghadames:

- smeggi (to speak)

- abdǝder (Kind of door crossbeam)

#Tetserret :

- šmeddi (to speak)

- awadur (bed rail )

And maybe abdǝder/awadur are also related to French 'Poutre'

#Ghadames : Taknift

#Tarifit : Taknift

#Tamajeq_Ayer : Ǝkenǝf

Root : WNF

#Ghomara : Tawnaft

WNF is probably also from KNF but I wonder if the shift K>W in tetserret and Ghomara happened independently

Flucht und Migration - Diskret und brutal - medico international Verhaftungswellen und Massenabschiebungen in die Wüste: Mit deutscher Wertarbeit setzt Algerien europäische Grenzpolitik um.

Relativ neu hingegen sind Abschiebungen von Flüchtenden nach #Ghadames in #Libyen seitens algerischer Behörden. Zwischen Anfang 2024 und Anfang 2025 seien mindestens 1800 Menschen dorthin ausgewiesen worden, so eine humanitäre Quelle 10/ www.medico.de/blog/diskret...

Amazigh words for 'Bread' (Kind of)

Root : KNF

#Ghadames : Taknift

#Tarifit : Taknift

#Ghomara : Tawnaft

#Tetserret : Tawnǝft

This is maybe the old Amazigh word for bread.

But how to explain the KNF /WNF difference 🤔

Amazigh words for 'to Swear'

> Root : *βḍ

#Ghadames : abǝḍ

#Awjila : avǝṭ

#Tamajeq : ǝhǝḍ

> Root : *gl

#Kabyle: ggall

#Atlas_tamazight : ggall

#Tarifit : ǧǧal, žžaǧǧ

#Wargla : žžall

#Tetserret : ezzǝl

#Zenaga : azziy

False cognate?

Amazigh words for 'To pray'

#Awjila : mud
#Ghadames : mud
#Tamajeq : mud
#Tamaheq : mud / muhed

Tubu word for 'a word'

#Teda : môdi

Amazigh word for 'Love'

#Ghadames :
Taberi

#Tachelhit :
Tayri

#Tamacheq :
Tarha

A dilemma here!
Ghadames and Tachelhit suggest a root *BR in proto-amazigh while tamajeq suggest *RB

Amazigh words :

#Tamajeq :
allaɣ = traverse de lit

#Tetserret :
awadur = traverse de lit

#Ghadames :
abǝder = traverse d'assemblage de la porte
