The Mzab–Wargla languages or Northern Saharan oasis dialects are a dialect cluster of the Zenati languages, within the Northern Berber subbranch. They are spoken in scattered oases of Algeria and Morocco.
Subclassification Kossmann (2013)
Maarten Kossmann (2013) listed six "Northern Saharan oasis" dialects:M. Kossmann, The Arabic Influence on Northern Berber, pp.23-24 (Brill, 2013) South Oranie and Figuig Gurara Tuwat-Tidikelt Mzab Wargla Wad Righ (Tugurt)
Ethnologue (2009) In Ethnologue XVI (2009), the "Mzab–Wargla" languages are listed as: Tagargrent (Wargli) Temacine Tamazight (Tugurt) Taznatit ("Zenati": Gurara, Tuwat and South Oran) Tumzabt (Mozabite) Unlike Kossmann, Ethnologue considers the Berber dialect spoken in Tidikelt as a separate branch of the Zenati group, distinct from Tuwat.
Blench Roger Blench (2006) listed eight varieties:Blench, Roger M. (2006) "The Afro-Asiatic Languages: Classification and Reference List". Cambridge: Mallam Dendo. Gurara Mzab, Ghardaia (Mozabite) Wargla Tugurt Seghrušen Figuig Senhaja Iznacen
However, Senhaja is actually an Atlas language.
