Sokna (also Sawknah, Sukna; native name: Tasuknit)
The most extensive and recent materials on it are Sarnelli (1924)[4] for Sokna and Paradisi (1963)[5] for El-Fogaha. Both articles report that the language was spoken only by a handful of old people at the time, so it is generally presumed to be extinct.
Aikhenvald & Militarev (1984) and Blench (2006) consider Sokna and Fezzan to be separate languages. Blench lists Tmessa and Al-Foqaha as dialects of Fezzan.
