Eastern Morocco Zenati

Eastern Morocco Zenati dialects are a cluster of Berber dialects spoken in the Jerada Province, Morocco, to the southwest of Oujda. They belong to the Zenati dialectal group and are closely related to the main Riffian dialects, as well as to the Aït Snous dialect, spoken across the border in Algeria.

Eastern Morocco Zenati is spoken among the tribes of Beni Bouzegou, Beni Ya'la, Zekara, Bekhata, Haddiyin, Meharez and Rwaba'.

Formerly, these dialects were also spoken in the area between Debdou and Taourirt (to the west of their current speaking area) by the tribes of Beni Koulal, Oulad Mahdi and Beni Chebel ; these tribes are currently mainly Arabophone.
