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 in the northern Saharan Algeria. It is also spoken by small numbers of Mozabite emigrants in the cities of Algeria and elsewhere. It is very closely related to the nearby Berber dialects of Ouargla, Oued Righ and the more distant Gourara.
