The Tuareg (/ˈtwɑːrɛɡ/; also spelled Twareg or Touareg; endonymImuhagh) are Berber people with a traditionally nomadicpastoralist lifestyle. They are the principal inhabitants of the Saharan desert.
The Tuareg language, a branch of the Berber languages, has an estimated 1.2 million speakers.
About half this number is accounted for by speakers of the Eastern dialect (Tamajaq, Tawallammat).
Most Tuareg live in the Saharan parts of Niger, Mali, and Algeria. Being nomadic, they move constantly across national borders, and small groups of Tuareg also live in southeastern Algeria, southwestern Libya and northern Burkina Faso, and a small community in northern Nigeria.
Names
The origin and meaning of the name Tuareg has long been debated with various etymologies advanced, although it would appear that Twārəg is derived from the "broken plural" of Tārgi, a name whose former meaning was "inhabitant of Targa" (the Tuareg name of the Libyan region commonly known as Fezzan. Targa in Berber means "(drainage) channel", see Alojali et al. 2003: 656, s.v. "Targa").
Tuareg (English pronunciation: /ˈtwɑːrɛɡ/), also known as Tamasheq (English pronunciation: /ˈtæməʃɛk/), Tamajaq, or Tamahaq, and ⵜⴰⵎⴰⵌⴰⵆ in Tifinagh, is a Berber language, or a family of very closely related languages and dialects, spoken by the TuaregBerbers, in large parts of Mali, Niger, Algeria, Libya, Morocco and Burkina Faso, with a few speakers, the Kinnin, in Chad.
Description
Tuareg dialects belong to the South Berber group, and are commonly regarded as a single language (as for instance by Karl-G. Prasse). They are distinguished mainly by a few sound shifts (notably affecting the pronunciation of original z and h). The Tuareg varieties are unusually conservative in some respects; they retain two short vowels where Northern-Berber languages have one or none, and have a much lower proportion of Arabicloanwords than most Berber languages. They are traditionally written in the indigenous Tifinagh alphabet. However, the Arabic script is commonly used in some areas (and has been since medieval times), while the Latin script is official in Mali and Niger. In Morocco, of the three official languages (Arabic, French and Berber), Central Atlas Tamazight is the second Berber language. Some scholars claim that Tifinagh-Tamazight is "one of the oldest languages in the world," being close both linguistically and in alphabet to Old Phoenician; that the Phoenician alphabet was progenitor of the Greek, and thereby Western, alphabets.
This documentary will take us to one of the most hostile habitats of the planet: the grand Sahara desert. The Tuaregs are also known as the “Blue Men” due to the colour adopted by their skin, soaked by the indigo used to dye their veils. They have always been feudal lords who dominated this immense territory. They assaulted caravans and controlled the routes. Travellers always feared them for their fierceness and ferocity. They are untamed people, impossible to subjugate. Their strict rules, where honour and hospitality are among the main ones, determine the life of their different tribes. We will travel next to the Madugu, who lead their salt caravans through the Tenere, a desert within a desert, also known as the “Anvil of the Sun”. We will know their customs, their beliefs and t...

Maintaining way of life, Tuareg resist cultural changes
For many indigenous and nomadic tribes around the world, it's often difficult to keep their way of life.
But there's a group of people, spread across several countries in North-western Africa, who are managing to do just that.
Al Jazeera's Natasha Ghoneim has the story.

🇳🇬 Niger: Tuareg people living in drought and conflict | Al Jazeera English
Life is tough for many living on the edge of the Sahara desert in Niger, and it's not getting any better, despite the signing of a peace agreement almost 10 years ago.
Nomadic Tuareg people suffered war, then drought. And lack of education is a major obstacle to building a new life.

3,000 year-old Tuareg tradition in Algeria: Sebeiba Festival | Al Jazeera World Documentary
Sebeiba is an annual Tuareg cultural event held in the oasis of Djanet, in the extreme south of Algeria.
This colourful festival dates back thousands of years and since 2014 has been a UNESCO 'Intangible Cultural Heritage of Humanity' event.
Sebeiba's rituals and ceremonies offer a fascinating insight into the cultural heritage of the Tuareg people, a community found across the Sahara that makes up a tiny part of Algeria's population.
At the heart of the 10-day festival is a hard-fought music and dance competition between two rival villages, Azellouaz and El Mihan. There can only ever one winner of Sebeiba – at least until next year.

The Land Of Fear: The Most Isolated Place In The World | Sahara Desert | Timeline
The Sahara is the biggest desert on earth. It takes its name from the Arab word for "emptiness". In the dead heart of that emptiness there's a place called the Tenere. The Tenere takes its name from the Tuareg word for "nothing". A nothing the size of France in the middle of an emptiness the size of the United States. It's no wonder the locals call this place "The Land Of Fear”. David Adams retraces the trade routes of the people who call this stove-hot corner of the planet home.

The Tuareg: The Blue-Veiled Desert Warriors (Morocco & Algeria - Full Documentary)
Also known as the blue-veiled warriors of the desert, the nomadic Tuareg tribe of the impassable and vast Sahara is shrouded by mystery.
As a young anthropologist, Jeremy Keenan documented the lifestyle of a Tuareg family group living at the foot of Algeria's highest mountain; Mount Tahat, creating an intimate and important film about a traditional lifestyle under the threat of extinction.
The documentary series “Disappearing World” was originally broadcasted between 1970-1975.
As an anthropological landmark of its time, the series tells the story of traditional communities endangered by the modern world’s progressions.
The series stands as a historical document of daily life in remote and threatened societies, such as the Cuiva, Embera and Panare Indians of Colombia, the nomadic Tua...

The Tuareg (/ˈtwɑːrɛɡ/; also spelled Twareg or Touareg; endonymImuhagh) are Berber people with a traditionally nomadicpastoralist lifestyle. They are the principal inhabitants of the Saharan desert.
The Tuareg language, a branch of the Berber languages, has an estimated 1.2 million speakers.
About half this number is accounted for by speakers of the Eastern dialect (Tamajaq, Tawallammat).
Most Tuareg live in the Saharan parts of Niger, Mali, and Algeria. Being nomadic, they move constantly across national borders, and small groups of Tuareg also live in southeastern Algeria, southwestern Libya and northern Burkina Faso, and a small community in northern Nigeria.
Names
The origin and meaning of the name Tuareg has long been debated with various etymologies advanced, although it would appear that Twārəg is derived from the "broken plural" of Tārgi, a name whose former meaning was "inhabitant of Targa" (the Tuareg name of the Libyan region commonly known as Fezzan. Targa in Berber means "(drainage) channel", see Alojali et al. 2003: 656, s.v. "Targa").
