Mozabite, or Tumẓabt, is a dialect of the Berber language spoken by the Mozabites, an Ibadi group inhabiting the seven cities of the M'zab natural region in the northern Saharan Algeria. It is also spoken by small numbers of Mozabite emigrants in other local cities and elsewhere. Mozabite is very closely related to the nearby Berber dialects of Ouargla and Oued Righ, as well as the more distant Gourara.
