Matmata Berber is a
Documentation of Matmata Berber is limited. A collection of fairy tales in this variety was published by Stumme in 1900.[4] Basset (1950)[5] provides a few dialect maps of Tunisian Berber including this region, showing lexical variation, while Penchoen (1968) [6] offers a general discussion of Tunisian Berber and the effects of schooling. Collins (1981) [7][8] discusses its verbal morphology along with that of other Tunisian Berber varieties. The only general grammatical sketch and vocabulary available is the website put together by Larbi Ben Mamou, a native speaker of the language.[2]
Ethnologue treats it as part of the Nafusi language spoken in northwestern Libya, although the two belong to different subgroups of Berber according to Kossmann (1999).[9]
