Atlas languages

The Atlas languages are a subgroup of the Northern Berber languages of the Afroasiatic language family, spoken in the Atlas Mountains and Rif Mountains of Morocco. By mutual intelligibility they are effectively a single language spoken by perhaps 14 million people, though they are distinct sociolinguistically and considered separate languages by the Royal Institute of Amazigh Culture, including Central Atlas Tamazight, spoken in the central Atlas Mountains, and Shilha, spoken in southern Morocco.
