Publisher: University of Michigan Press
Publication date: 1971
Number of pages: 350This book and its companion^ A Course in Spoken Tamazight, were made possible by the cooperation of a number of individuals. In particular,, I would like to express my appreciation to Mr. Mohammed Raamouch whose comments and constructive remarks were a great help to me in the formulation of the grammar of Ayt Ayache. Thanks are also due to Mr. Mohammed Guerssel who3 by his linguistic competence and insightful observations^ contributed greatly to the comparative notes on the two dialects.
In addition, I would like to express my thanks to Professor William D. Schorger^ who., as Director of the Center for Near Eastern and North African Studies at the University of Michigan, initiated the program of research on North African languages and linguistics. The Center defrayed the costs of research assistants, field tripsj typists^ tapes and tape recordings, as well as, providing me with the time and opportunity to carry out the field research and the analysis.
