Tugurt, also known as Oued Righ Berber and Temacine Tamazight, is a Zenati Berber variety spoken in some of the oases of the northeastern Oued Righ region around Touggourt in Algeria. As of 1893[update], it was spoken in Temacine, Blidet-Amor, Meggarine and Ghomra.[3] The only published study of it is Basset (1893).[3] Tugurt is closely related to nearby Tumzabt (Mozabite) and Teggargrent.
