Abstract:

This book analyses one Amazigh/Berber “secret language” of the south-east of
Morocco. This “secret language” is known as “the language of the ‘wāw’” (the
“w” consonant language) and “the language of the ‘rā?’” (the “r” consonant
language), among its users. This “language” works through the substitution of
one consonant of the word by the consonant “w” and by the addition of a
disguise item that starts with the “r” consonant, among other things. The
present book involves eight descriptive and concise chapters that present a
sketchy general background to the “secret language” and that investigate the
encoding of the following Tamazight language aspects: single words, prefixless
parts of speech, prefixed verbs, defined nouns, multi-segmental items
(consonants and vowels), one-segmental forms (a consonant or a vowel), and
syntactic structures.

as such can receive donations through the eLinguistics Foundation, 
which is a registered 501(c) Non Profit organization. Our Federal 
Tax number is 45-4211155. These donations can be offset against

Many companies also offer a gift matching program, such that 
they will match any gift you make to a non-profit organization. 
Normally this entails your contacting your human resources department

returns to your employer. This is generally a simple administrative 
procedure that doubles the value of your gift to LINGUIST, without 
costing you an extra penny. Please take a moment to check if 
your company operates such a program.
